On Ritual Cleansing

Last night, long after everyone had been tucked in, the bathroom light went on. The Mayor and Hobbit Wife were listening intently to the sounds of handwashing. The Mayor went to investigate...

Mayor: Seimi, it's after bedtime. Why are you washing your hands?
Seimi: I remembered that I touched money today. Money has lots of germs so I'm doing extra wash with extra soap.

This from the kid who NEVER remembers to wash his hands after using the bathroom.  EVER.
