What have I done?

While at the bookstore with my youngest son tonight I inadvertently introduced him to one of my crazy hang-ups ... I always take the book or magazine at the back or from the bottom of the stack. He asked me on the way home why I do that, and I said that I don't like buying something that other people have pawed through -- even though I'm one of the paw-ers. He said, "Oh, it's all of the germs" Uuhh. No, your mom is just crazy. Raising Howard Hughes? Howard Hughes?
