Don’t worry, Madeline. Kids ingest the most unbelievable things without getting sick. —Although if Alice wants to give people rabies, I guess she should be sick…?

So I’m guessing Petey wore them so that people would leave him alone.

@ bgby4884:Um, I don’t think so. Zombies are dead and so aren’t endothermic. The rabies virus doesn’t work in cold-blooded creatures since it needs high temperatures to survive.

They haven’t been washed since Petey was in 1st grade? I hope mom throws away anything else in that drawer.
