Don’t Touch

6 Train, Thursday, 7pm

A five year-old boy is swinging from the grab pole in the middle of the train.

Mom: Don’t touch the pole. It has germs on it.
Kid: You say that about everything.
Mom: Everything has germs. Don’t touch anything.
Kid: What about people?
Mom: People have the most germs. Don’t touch people.
Kid: Fine. I won’t touch you either.
Mom: I’m used to that. Ask your father.
