Backstory: My sister emailed my mom from the Caymans to let her know that they got there safe and were having a great time. This was my mom’s response.
Glad you made it. We arrived safely at home. Have a wonderful time and wipe individually.
I love you.

I’m sitting here trying to figure out if maybe that was a typo, but cannot for the life of me come up with anything that makes any sense!

When I first read it I was confused, but after further thought, I wondered if Mom was saying to use antibacterial wipes individually instead of sharing them…..That is something I would tell my daughter if she was traveling, don’t share handwipes….Just an opinion based on today’s health issues…….

I’m the daughter! She used to tell me when I was younger to always bring a friend to the bathroom (so we were never alone) but to always wipe individually. The saying stuck with our family and friends :)
