say, people are going to continue kissing
anyway"
well, If we're all going to continue
kissing anyway, why all this fuss about
it," DR.. Morgan wanted to know.
The interviewer was asking Questions,

Children should never be kissed, an

"Oh, yes, we all talk lot about how
unhygiepic 1t is to kiss our babies ard
then we all do Just the opposite. No
