Why Your Kid Always Gets You Sick

Every parent expects her child to get sick sometimes. After all, you'd get sick too if you spent the bulk of your days crawling on dirty playground equipment, drinking out of your friends' cups of juice, and touching (or mouthing!) every little thing that grabs your attention.
