Kids will be kids, especially when it’s a harmless prank of putting poop in your classmates backpack! Okay, considering the young lady who pulled the prank was only about 10 years old, but that was the topic of conversation on The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning.
From a mother who listens to The M&C Morning Show on the FREE KKLZapp, she wrote telling us the story of how her little daughter found a brown piece of paper and simply wrote the word “poop” on it. Some how it found it’s way into the backpack of a classmate and the mother of that student wasn’t very happy about it when she found it.
In fact, the one mom called the mother of the child that put the brown piece of paper in the backpack and actually ask for an apology! So on The M&C Morning Show, we just wanted to know if that was going a little too far in respect to a harmless little joke?
M&C opened the talk and text lines and found that most parents were a little shocked that the girl had to apologize…and then we asked if you as a parent ever had to have your child apologize for something they had done.
Well, of course every little kid has done something and the parents weren’t shy of coming forth with the stories…in comparison of what’s going on in the world today, it was some innocent fun on The M&C Morning Show this morning talking about kids doing the most “kid” like stuff and being called out for it.
We’ve all been there, but do yourself a favor and while you listen, it’s sure to bring back some memories and put a smile on your face…
How Germy Are Your Kids Backpacks? Your Remote Control? Cell Phone?
It’s back to school time around the country – and that means GERMS.
New research from Clorox found that kids’ backpacks are often the most neglected by parents when it comes to sanitization, and it shows. Here’s the fun truth: Your kid’s backpack is covered in way more germs than your disgusting cell phone. So, maybe don’t let them toss it on the dinner table when they get home.
Germs can stop a lot of people in their tracks. By adopting a germ-prevention strategy, parents can help prevent the spread of illness-causing germs on surfaces. Clorox is teaming up with the world’s most decorated woman in track and field history, gender equality advocate, entrepreneur and mom, Allyson Felix! Together, they’re helping to educate parents on germ spread in order to help keep households running smoothly for an unstoppable school year ahead!
Survey of U.S. Parents
To uncover the true impact germs can have on us, Clorox conducted a nationwide survey among 1,000 parents of school-aged children:
Millennial parents of color often experience greater impact from illness with 85% reporting that they had to take a sick day or unpaid time off due to a sick child within the last year compared to only 78% of white millennial parents.
42% of millennial parents of color reported feeling nervous about the back-to-school season compared to only 32% of white millennial parents.
Moms are more likely to be stressed about back-to-school (38% vs. 24%) while dads are more likely to be happy (67% vs. 39%).
More than half of all parents surveyed (54%) are stressed at the thought of their child having to stay home.
Clorox also swabbed a bunch of things in homes with school-aged kids. Here are a few stats on the most germ filled things in your home
Your kids clothes are a little scary
When your kids get home from school, their clothes are 28 times germier than the average toilet seat. (In reality, toilet seats aren’t really that germy though, so don’t panic too much.
Your couch could be a problem
The average couch is as germy as a dog’s tennis ball, and twice as germy as the fridge door handle.
The remote control
Hard surfaces like counters, TV remotes, gaming controllers and fridge handles were roughly 26 times germier than the average bathroom doorknob – which is blech.
What do parents worry about?
Most parents – 69% to be exact – are worried about their kids bringing germs home from school. 54% fully expect their kids to get them sick at some point this school year.
So - how dirty are toilet seats, really?
Studies have found that on the average toilet seat there are 50 bacteria per square inch. It’s actually one of the cleanest things you’ll run across in terms of micro-organisms.
