Yup I know how very lucky I am.

My mom didn’t do that to me because her mom did it to her and she hated it! Thank goodness!

Nah, it was when she pulled the crumpled tissue out of her pocketbook, spit on THAT & tried to wipe my face. Who KNEW WHERE THAT TISSUE HAD BEEN? 😱

It wasn’t often, and hated it when she did that. 😒

And with the tough dirt, she used her thumb.

Ugh, my mother’s spit always smelled like cigarettes. We didn’t have wipes, so for my kids it was a damp, soapy washcloth in a plastic bag wherever we went. Lol!

Back in the days when we took ONE bath per week. Yeah, some extra cleaning was necessary.

I still do that to my kids in a pinch.

Same with me, and I'm a guy, the other half does not like, but if she's not looking, spit it goes LOL no problemo...

I completely agree.

Agreed, but I could have done without the spit wash nonetheless.

Mine spit in a tissue and then wiped my face.

Yes, I remember Spit Curls! 😆

No… it means that you still have not learned how to wash your face properly. Shame.

do you guys remember when years ago researchers did a study on injuries and mom spit? they found that yes, in fact wounds that were exposed to mom spit somehow healed faster than ones without mom spit on them. this means... researchers determined that mommy kisses actually do help fix boo-boos...

Well we didn't die over it... 😂

👏🏻👏🏻❤️

No one had conceived of wet wipes back then.

there was wet hand tissue. And the fast way, wet finger LOL it's the fast version, and none of them is bad for the planet, the wet wipes, hummm

Yep, mom wash 😄

She spat on a paper hankie, and wiped my face with it.

That was common back in the old days. My mother would spit on her hand and smooth my hair down. I hated it.
