Charlie is a teenage boy. In case you were not aware, teenage boys stink. Mine is not very fond of bathing either. Charlie is a heavy sweater and we live in the Houston area with high temperatures plus humidity. That all adds up to LOTS of funk and stink.
The other day I asked Charlie when the last time he bathed because the boy stank to high heaven!
Our conversation went like this:
Getting into the car and closing the doors…
Me – GAH!! When did you bathe last? I mean a real bath, with soap, not the pool or a quick rinse.
Charlie – Honestly I’m not sure. I do need to take a bath. I can smell myself and I STINK!
The conversation continued on with another lecture from me on why he needs to take a real bath or shower daily at the bare minimum, use deodorant, and other important hygiene issues.
Teenage boy funk is real y’all!
Elizabeth, this story was cute and funny!! Teenage boys can and do stink badly – especially without basic hygiene (i.e. deodorant). 🙂
I am so very glad to have found you and this blog. It has been several years since we’ve communicated, and I am glad that you and Charlie are pressing onward.
God’s continued blessings in your lives!!
It is wonderful to hear from you! I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were doing. Feel free to browse around to see what all we’ve been up to since Robert’s death.
