Last night me a Buffy got into a discussion again. I notice while she turns the pages she has to lick her fingers first. I know there are a mass amount of people that do that. That is why there is a company making a killing on this weird wax like substance that helps you to "take hold" of pages.
Take Hold Finger Tip Grip
After that advertisement I must get back to this subject of licking your fingers before you turn a page. I don't mind if my wife or kids do that at home but, where does it become socially and environmentally wrong? I know one place for sure. The Doctors office! I have actually seen people licking their fingers to turn a page at the Dr's office. No wonder half of them keep coming back to the Dr in a couple of weeks. They have contracted some other communicable disease from the pages of the book they just slobbered on. So note to self don't read magazines at the doctors office.
Finally last night we discussed how are you suppose to turn a page without doing that. I simply angle my finger in the right position and turn it. But I guess it is a habit to do it the other way. And believe me I have plenty of bad habits of my own.
So:
Wife ...kids = ok
Family, friends and doctor's office weirdos = not ok

Hello, my name is Marlene and I'm a page slobberer. (Go Buffy!) I didn't think anything about it until you (thanks a bunch) turned it into something bad. I've tried other methods of turning pages...but none successful yet except for the wax stuff. We've noticed Peyton had developed the habit...and now Carson. Only Carson licks her fingers and then sits and continues looking at the page, doing nothing. Although I don't think I do it with other peoples books and magazines...only mine, I will think about this from now on. I enjoy your blogging, and ususally keep quiet, just lurking in the shadows...but now you've done it. Brought it up, and proceeded straight to name calling. God loves you anyway. Aren't we blessed?!!!!!! ~Marlene
Yeah we are blessed Marlene. Sorry to hear that you are one of "those" people. Naw...I know a lot of people that are and I noticed that Carol (our secretary) has some of that wax. Should we assume that she might be a closet page slobberer.
