He's my cutie, and he doesn't have cooties.

Toby's lip scared one mom at the library this morning. 

She was afraid that Toby was contagious and didn't want her daughter playing anywhere near him, or touching any of the toys that he had touched. 

I didn't even bother telling her that his lip is fat because he fell, not because he has a cold sore, and she didn't bother talking to me, so that was that. She acted like I was contagious too. I decided I didn't want to talk to her, and consequently, did nothing to clear up the misunderstanding. 

So, Toby got to play with whatever toys he wanted to - once he touched them, it was like the communal toys were exclusively his for the morning we spent at the library. 

Score. 

We rented a Thomas & Friends video, but I drove off with it on the hood of the car. When I figured it out and went back for it, several cars had already run over it and it had broken into a million pieces, and I felt pretty stupid. Hope that's not contagious too.
