I enjoyed this article.  I am always having to remind my husband that children come washable.  He freaks if their clothes get dirty or they get sand in their hair.  I just generally look at him and roll my eyes in laughter.  I would stress myself out if I cared too much.  Its comforting that dirt does the body good.  I want to have a mud party one day.  I think my kids would have a blast.

   This article made me laugh!  My daughter has been exposed to sooooo much dirt in her short life!  Since we live and work on a farm, she doesn't stand a chance of staying clean.  She "helps" change oil, grease farm equipment, pull weeds, trap gophers, etc nearly everyday.  And I would have to say she has been much healthier than other kids her age.  She rarely catches a cold.
Now, if I could just convince her that touching food that is slightly slimy isn't a reason to gag herself
