I just gotta know, why do boys take such pleasure in how much they can stink up a room. You know I'm right, farts, of course, the louder the better, but they are not embarrassed they are proud. If you don't happen to be in the room when it happens, you'll hear, "hey mom, come here I gotta show you something", walk into the room and it's like you got hit with a freight train. Mom's you know this is true. But it's not just farts.
Smelly arm pits, they never want to hug you, but look out when they've just got done playing football, or exercising and sweating up a storm, "come here mom", I just throw the soap at him, and run in the other direction. As you may know we went out of town this weekend to see my mother. Imagine my embarrassment when she says to me, one of the boys needs a shower bad. I'm like, oh, great, they both had showers before we left home, we were only in the car, how can they stink already. So I go and check it out, no smell, I'm not shy about it, I tell them, "come here", and I smell them, it's a mothers dream isn't it, to find the source of the offensive odor so we can somehow get rid of it. But, they don't smell, I ask my mom, "are you sure?". We haven't been to visit in almost 2 years, and we are there for less than an hour before my boys are stinking up her house, talk about delighted. Well a few hours later we discover the source of the offending odor. SOCKS, yikes, enough to just make you sick. Well you can't convince the boys, if you don't wear socks, then you get your shoes all smelly, then you wear socks after that, and the smell gets passed around, etc. etc.
Since this recent observation my son has now become quite proud of his new odor and he will hide his socks in my room. Funny kid, why does he think it's so humorous, and why will he choose to put up with the smell, just to terrorize my nose. Teenagers have so many issues, problems, hormones, so why does it give them such pleasure to hold the title of the smelliest shoes?
I don't understand why a kid who has to have the best, most expensive, pair of air somebody's shoes, (seriously they cost more than my first car did), why does it give him such pleasure to be smellier than his brothers. "Here mom smell, who's are worse, mine or his". Why in the world when something smells bad do you need to get confirmation, "here mom, does this smell bad?" OMG! Why does he need me to confirm, that yes indeed, he wins the award for the most expensive smelly shoes in the house.
These are the boys who have to have the most expensive soaps, body washes, shampoos, deodorants and colognes, for what? I spend more on my sons cosmetics than my own, but no amount of cologne will cover the smell of dirty socks, I'm not sure how to convince them that it only makes it worse, a combination of socks and cologne is just as raunchy, there is no way around it, they need to take a shower, and wear clean socks, they go together, you have to do both, that's it, no way around it, no amount of expensive smelly stuff can ever cover the odor of a teenage boy after football. Gotta love em... The joys of motherhood are magnificent!
