He's a walking germ

E: "Mom? My nose hurts."
Me: "It does? Does it hurt when you touch it?"
E: "No, it only hurts when I stick my finger in my nose."
Me: "So won't it stop hurting if you stop putting your finger in your nose?"
E: "Probably."
Me: "Can you stop, then?"
E: "Yes."
Me: "And can you please wash your hands?"
E: "Yes."
