   She brought 1 home a salad and a large pizza. She put them on the table. Her husband 2 asked if he could 3 join her. She was 4 surprised 5, but she said 6 of course 7. They started eating. "This is delicious," he said. He was wolfing the pizza down. "Sometimes I don't understand you. You're such 8 a germophobe," she said. "You know that some restaurant workers don't bother 9 to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Some don't wash their hands after they pick 10 their nose. A worker might 11 have used 12 his dirty hands to make this food. Or he might have used his dirty plastic 13 gloves. He might have sneezed 14 on the cheese. He might have coughed 15 on the carrots. He might have picked 16 the pepperoni off 17 the floor. You are eating all those germs 18. Don't you care 19?" He said, "Of course I care. But sometimes I don't when it smells so good!"
