WASH YOUR HANDS!!



Oh, the bugs out there are frightful!
What you’ll catch is NOT delightful!
Since you don’t want sick, sick glands!
Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Wash your hands!

Bugs now don’t show signs of stopping!
And we know they mutate! -  Popping
Up all over you’ll find new strands!
Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Wash your hands!

Yes, we finally understand
How much damage those bugs can do!
We're determined we'll stand and fight
Let’s say goodbye to the flu!

Yes, the bugs out there are frightful!
But it’s now we must be spiteful!
Health and Safety now commands!
Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Wash your hands!

What a cute song, I think the teachers should sing it to all their young students making a game of it yet teaching something so useful.......:-) Hugs

Love the song! I'll probably go through the airport today humming it and people will think I'm crazy because they'll think I'm humming about snow of all things,

Speaking of airports, last week when we came back from FL I stopped in the rest room after we got off our flight and was appalled by the number of women who didn't wash their hands. How disgusting! Sometimes I just want to shake people, but that would require actually touching them, which I really don't want to do at all, especially once I've seen that they don't wash their hands!

Feel free to use the song to bring the message home!

Thanks ladies for stopping by! I so agree with you Karabeth! Have observed that myself and not just at airports. I'm still in my cubicle, hear several other doors open, people leave, and there were no sounds of running water at the sinks! YUCK!!!!!

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
