I was at a party the other day and another mom shared this story…
She spent all last school year trying to get her sixth grade boy to shower and use deodorant. Every day she told him he was stinky and to go upstairs, shower, put on CLEAN clothes and comb his hair. He didn’t get it. Well, he is a seventh grader now. She was so excited to shop with him this year. Before school started they got some decent clothes, some deodorant and some Axe. He came downstairs on the first day of school and he looked and smelled great. She asked him if he used his deodorant and he said he did. He also said he used his Axe and that he had even sprayed his balls (his words, not mine) with it. The mom about passed out and asked him why he did that. He said, “It’s the first day of school, Mom. You never know.”
I hope this isn’t a peek into my future. What are seventh graders doing at school nowadays??? I know what I was doing in seventh grade and it didn’t require spraying Love’s Baby Soft all over my nether regions.
