I just learned from a teacher friend of mine that they're teaching kids these days to cough or sneeze into the crook of their elbow. Which makes a ton of sense as soon as you think about it for two seconds -- "cover your mouth when you sneeze" is fine as far as it goes, but then you're just going to go put those grubby, germ covered hands all over everything. Crook of the elbow. Wave of the future. Pass it on.

Katie sneezes into her elbow, and I always thought it was strange until the logic behind doing it sunk in. I agree. The wave of the future.

No, the wave of the future would be that after you sneeze into your elbow, you hold your hand up in the air and then move it around, side to side, backwards and forwards. Now THAT is a wave to look forward to!

OMG, I've been on the cutting edge and didn't even realize it!
