Boy Takes Bath

Nicky turned 9 yesterday. Conversation this morning:

Me: Nicky, did you remember to take a bath?

N: (groans, and he has a cinnamon and sugar smile from breakfast that extends right across his cheeks)

M: Go look at yourself in the mirror.

N: I'll wash my face.

M: Take a bath! You're having a sleepover tonight and there wont be time for a bath after school and I don't want you to be stinky.

N: But Mom! I just took a bath recently!

M: When?

N: Like, 5 days ago!

M: Take a bath!

Of course he obeyed me. Next chapter could be titled, "Did you use soap?"

It was good to be a kid in the 1960's - 1970's when everyone had greasy hair...being sorta dirty was socially acceptable.
