Tonight, just for the heck of it, I looked at the Google search results for MCMM. Besides learning that people can be really strange, I see that I'm not alone in thinking that teenage boys are disgusting. Take a look at the top seraches for today.

Hmmmm. Who is Fred Braun anyhow? And why do we want his shoes? And why ARE teenage boys really disgusting when they get to their teenage year? Does anyone have any insight into that little conundrum? Because I'm thinking that a firehose aimed directly at MY teenage boy might, just might get him clean enough to go on college tours next week.
A mom can hope, right?
My son had a grade 7 teacher who was the best thing that ever happened to his personal hygiene. Apparently, she would walk into the room and declare, "This place reeks of goat!" and then tell the boys there were to shower when they got home, and "APPLY ANTI-PERSPIRANT!!" (Yes, Dianne S., I still remember you fondly.)
I hoped that when my son discovered girls, at about age 14, this would fix the "stinks-like-goat" problem, but no. Seems as if the girls are either nasally-impaired at that age... or he just never got that close to one. I'm not sure exactly when it turned around, but somehow, somewhere, it did. He now showers voluntarily and routinely! It will happen for you, too. Truly.
