So, 13 yr old boys do not smell pleasant until they shower. In fact, it is downright nauseous. 13 yr old boy now does take showers every day, but the early morning is still torture until he gets in.
10 yr old will be 11 soon. He doesn't have actual body odor yet, but there is starting to be just an itty bit of aroma coming from him. I told him he needs more showers now. But, he is avoiding them.
Then, today, he explained it to me. He said 13 yr old smelled so bad when they shared a room, that he wants revenge. So he does not want to take a shower until he smells really bad. And then he is just going to hang out in his older brother's room!
gads! lol
(he still has to take a shower, I just thought this was funny)
