With him being 4 he is just trying to push his boundaries and test us as his parents. Also we both wash our hands way too much as it is, especially after using the restroom. I also believe he doesn't like washing his hands because he has mild eczema on his hands.

Markpelly Link ParentThe reason I was asking was because I wasn't sure what made it exciting. I figured this was a given for all modern phones.
