If cleanliness is next to godliness, then I will see you in hell!

Today I watched a mom at the Food Court of the mall. She and her husband had two small children and were, apparently, buying lunch. While "dad" went to Johnny Rockets to buy a burger, "Mom" went biserk. She pulled out Clorox wipes and first wiped down the table, then the chairs. Next, she sanitized her hands with what I guessed was Purell. From here, she broke out two sticky placemats that taped to the table so that her kids would not have to eat off the now Cloroxed table top. She pulled out her own straws and plasticware, then sat her kids down to eat. I watched in awe as my own kids sat in unsantized chairs, and ate off the unsantized table with the plastic silverware that everyone and their mother probably touched. What are your thoughts on this? Am I a huge slacker for not carrying child-protecting wipes? or does she have OCD?
