So, we are preparing for mission trip, and we have given the students a packing list, and the women in my office have had a big argument, seriously, big argument!
The argument has been based on, "Do you wear a clean bra/vest everyday?"
Further questions that came from this discussions have been:
"Would you share a straw or drink with your husband/significant other?"
"Do you share ice cream cones or lollies?"
I know this may be too much for some to handle; you are more than welcome to pass on this, but I would like to know, is Saffron, (not her real name,) too clean? Do you share your food/drinks?
Seriously, I'd like to know... I'm setting my blog to take anonymous replies, I want to know that badly.

How is sharing a straw for drink with my husband...or children or even you make me unclean?? How does sharing my ice cream cone or lolly pops with my kids or husband make me unclean? Now, if you said the ice cream fell in the dirt or on the kitchen floor would I eat it??? NO!
I think the person has to be related or close enough to share like that but unless they are sick...I'm all for sharing!
Some people have phobias...so maybe they shouldn't share like that...but don't call us who do UNCLEAN!
In making the packing list....couldn't one just say bring bras/vest and let each person decide how many they need? I think there are some things people should be able to decide on their own. LOL!
I agree with Carole. I think that everyone has their own versions of what they consider gross and what they consider acceptable. Everyone does something nasty or unclean,they just don't know they do.
Sharing a straw or drink is a bit much, are you kidding me? I say Grow Up to whoever objected to that one. You swap saliva with other people and if you are married much more. I don't think a sip of my coke is unclean anymore than kissing is, if we are looking at the nitty gritty.
As far as the undergarments, at this stage in the game, your students are of the age where they know what they wear underneath their clothes. Just put it as general and not the number. I read a study the other day that said 15 percent of the population doesn't wear any undergarments - that's right commando. Thank you Britney and Lindsay!
Finally, not worth the fighting my friends.
what about sharing a toothbrush?
i know some who do, they're married; different rules with the marrieds, they get away with alot more...
However Saffron is married, I think I'd make her throw up in her mouth if I suggested that!
