don't get sick, wash up quick!
ah, scrubby bear. scrubby bear is a real friend. scrubby bear is someone i'm going to get sick of very quickly.i've started my new job as an americorps member for the red cross. i get to work with a small group of high school kids helping them do community service, but the brunt of my job is presentations. much like my job over the summer for the red cross, i give disaster safety presentations, but now i also give health and safety presentations too. enter scrubby bear. scrubby bear is the presentation you give to little kids to help them learn how to wash their hands. ...that's it. just washing their hands. it's fun, for now, but on average i'll be giving like 20 of those a week. maybe less. but guys, it's washing your hands. it's easy, but man it's gonna get old.

I was watching Conan a couple years ago, and Sarah Jessica Parker was on, and she was saying that she learned that the correct amount of time to wash your hands was the length of time it takes you to sing, "Happy Birthday." But then they started talking about her dad, and Conan made some joke about her dad standing in a public bathroom singing "Happy Birthday." I don't really remember it all that well now that I think about it. But it kinda had to do with hand washing? Kinda? Maybe? Shit.
yes! we recommend "happy birthday" or "abc's". either way, 10-15 seconds is the optimal amount of time for scrubbing.
*ahem*
