I’m sick of it! I’m sick of high fives! I hate handshakes! Why is everyone sweaty?! I hate holding another hand! Why do I always have to hold things?? Stop giving people a hand. Stop handing me stuff. The things you make me touch are disgusting! Picking up dog poop and the bag slips? Gross. Rescuing a worm off of the wet sidewalk? Slimy. Don’t even get me started on what you do with your girlfriend. I hate being in there and it’s a sin. Wait, why am I holding a can of spray paint? Oh, ha ha. Very funny.
