Yeah, really! LOL, I spent the last year working in a 6th grade classroom and I wish most of the boys cared about BO. Ugh, it was a long, stinky spring!
I really stress personal hygiene around here, so my 12 yo has his stick deodorant and a spray can of AXE. he does not go crazy with it, (as in fall over when he enters the room), but he smells nice. Alot of other boys take the same care. One day the teacher announced that the body spray/deodorant "odour" in the classroom was giving her a headache--she apparently has that sensitivity.
I thought, does she really know what she is asking?????? I would rather deal with the body spray smell, than the body odor smell.
I came home from work a few weeks ago to find my roasting pan in the sink. I said to my 12 year old "I haven't used that pan in weeks do you have any idea why its in the sink?" he said Yes I had stinky feet......... apparently he used my roasting pan to soak his feet. I ask him to please not do that again.
Boys are funny- until they hit 15 where my son is now.
Now the cologne is so heavy you can smell him from the backyard when he is inside the house.
My twelve year old prissy cheerleader daughter asked me a question yesterday.
I was out in the chicken yard, and she popped up from the bathroom window and said, "Mom is wart remover toxic if you put it on your teeth?"
Um.
"Whyyyyyyyyyyy?"
She said- "well, I used it on my teeth and it got rid of all the stains and made them really white. "
I asked her what possessed her to even think to put it on her teeth, I don't remember dropping her on her head when she was a baby...and she said, "I don't know- but it worked."then smiled real big to show me.
I read something a few years ago in one of the news magazines about the teenage brain. They really are wired differently. When you ask a teen why he did something and he says I don't know, often they really don't know.
