They never use hot water so if they have washed them they feel a little chilly. </p> PinkElephant on "Do you believe your LO when they say they washed their hands?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-your-lo-when-they-say-they-washed-their-hands#post-2326210 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 17:55:07 +0000 PinkElephant 2326210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, no. There's not much she fibs about, but this is a frequent one. We have a powder room right off our kitchen, so it's really obvious when I don't hear water run/her hands aren't damp.</p> <p>Any ideas on getting around this?

Usually they're happy to let me smell them, but sometimes they'll guiltily run to the bathroom to wash or rewash their hands!</p> <p>Do you believe your LO when they say they washed their hands? </p>
