The Germ Addict

I think Nyla is addicted to germs. There are three things that Nyla will undoubtedly find in any room, whether it's empty or chock-full of people:

1. The garbage can
2. Any electrical outlets
3. The sickest kid in the room

Inevitably, Nyla is able to search out these things no matter where we are. The library is her favorite place to find these three things. It's like there are magnetic force fields around garbage cans and outlets and she is just drawn to them. I can't even count how many times I have to bring her away from them. And don't even get me started on sick kids in public. The other day, Nyla managed to make friends with the illness-infested child. Never mind there were six other toddlers there that she could have socialized with; she had to be with the sick kid. Gross.
