AC is T's buddy, and I just learned that he is our best friend, too. When T went over there yesterday, he was his regular old smelly self. AC said, "Did you take a shower today?" T said no, which was honest to his credit. AC's little brother said, "I didn't take a shower either." AC replied, "You two get out of here, you're stinking up the room." So, thanks to AC, T did a VERY thorough job of washing in the shower today! AC may have a cell phone and his own room, (which T now thinks that he needs to have as well) but at least the kid is up on hygiene! I will bless his name for weeks.
And now, for your reading enjoyment, a snippet from the blog on one of my friends. The entry I took this from also discussed the hygiene habits of tween boys. These are the instructions she gave to her son with regard to the proper way to shower.
"Stand under the water coming from the shower head. Pick up the soap. Lather it up, apply it to your body until the dirt is gone, then rinse. Also, the shampoo? It goes in your hair. You lather it up, in your hair--not just in your hands-- and then rinse it out."
It may seem like a simple task, but as we have learned, nothing is simple with boys. When I read her entry, I laughed harder than I had for days, probably months. In this case, familiarity bred a really really good guffaw.
