Remember: Wash Your Hands

We got back from our beach trip Saturday evening (I'll post details and pictures in the next couple of days). Since we had absolutely no breakfast groceries in the house, we went to J. Christopher's for breakfast on Sunday morning. Lily of course needed to go to the bathroom towards the end of our meal; she is something of a potty connoisseur these days. As she was sitting on the potty, she looked up and saw a sign that said "Employees must wash hands before returning to work" and had a picture of hands with soap on them. Here's our conversation about that sign:
L:Mommy, that sign tells us to wash our hands after we use the potty.
M: That's right.
L: I didn't wash my hands after I used the potty this morning.
M: That's gross. You are always supposed to wash your hands after you use the potty.
L: But I didn't have a sign to tell me to!
M: Do you really need a sign to remind you to wash your hands?
L: Yes. Let's make a sign to tell me to wash my hands after I potty. That way I'll remember.
