Gross. My kid's best friend is spending the night...

[Maddy McCall]

He's 11. He just came downstairs and asked me if I have any deodorant, because he "hasn't had a bath in a real long time" and he said he can smell himself.

I'm gagging. The last time he was here, he said he had athlete's foot.

Someone rescue me from these boys!!!! Tell me that they aren't always gross.

[Systematic Chaos]

1. Give the poor kid a washcloth and towel.

Send him to the shower and let him clean off. You'll all feel better for it, I think.

[Maddy McCall]

5. I did that, in a round about way.

Sent my son first. Visiting kid goes second. Lysol goes third. :D

[Madrone]

2. My grandma had FIVE.

And she's still alive. Can you belive it? I thought she'd have taken her OWN life by now. LOL

[Maddy McCall]

7. I only have one.

Two on weekends, because his friend stays over pretty often.

I CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING MORE THAN ONE BOY!!! I can't imagine. :D

[KitchenWitch]

3. Is he just saying that to get a rise out of you?

Boys tend to do that!

[Maddy McCall]

6. LOL! Well...

I know his family--I know his mother. She would never allow him to go a day without a bath. And she would be very embarrassed if she knew he said this to me. :)

4. He could be messin' with your head.

Just because he is 11 does not mean he is not capable of it.

"Oooh! Let's gross out mom!"


:rofl: :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

9. Yeah, I think it's possible.

Just wait until I have the last laugh, though--when I tell HIS mom tomorrow about this. HAHAHAHAHA!

[auntAgonist]

8. that's about the age my son

was when he and his buddies decided to light their flatulence on fire in the tent in the back yard.

They were laughing so hard in the morning at breakfast because I had never heard of such a thing :shrug:

boys will be boys!

[Maddy McCall]

10. Hell, my adult guy friends STILL do that.

Seriously...they never grow up. :D

[JohnKleeb]

12. psssssssssssst get those boys in to shopping cart riding

Hey its a national past time.

[auntAgonist]

13. well he's 22 now!

I'm not sure he'd think that was much fun, .. well on second thought, maybe


:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

14. Oh believe me, I'll be 35 and I'll think its fun

it is always fun to go riding in a shopping cart, I remember once when I was riding one, was with my one brother and a friend of ours, I got pushed, and I fell out, they look at me all silent like I am gonna be pissed at them, THAT WAS AWESOME!, ahh my childhood, I am gonna miss it.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Hold onto it as long as you can.

I still haven't let mine go. :)

[JohnKleeb]

21. Yeah thanks

:) I will always be a silly bastard though.

[Maddy McCall]

15. One of my guy friends did it in a bar one night, not too long ago.

He had on cut-off jean shorts. Sadly, the fringe ignited. What a night that was.

:D

[auntAgonist]

18. I can only imagine!

Did you ever wonder WHO the first person was to ever THINK of such a thing?


:shrug: :think: :rofl: :think:

[Maddy McCall]

19. Just imagine if the old sphincter gave way...

and the igniter suffered a massive internal explosion. That's what has always scared me about it. It certainly would earn the person the Darwin award. :D

[auntAgonist]

22. omg Maddy!

I'm dying laughing here...

[carpetbagger]

11. Ah, The Sacred Order of the Blue Flame.

I've enjoyed hours of operating room jokes about that one.

[mahina]

17. I love boys!

I only remember giving birth to one, but somehow there are always a bunch around.
One of my son's best friends when they were small NEVER bathed. He swam in the ocean, in the pool, but would not take a shower or a bath, except at my house. He always looked ok and started using deodorant when it was needed. This finally ended when he was around 8 years old and the stepdad moved out. Sad ya?
He is ok now!
I love him. My emergency backup kid.
Come to find out very sad and creepy things going down at home.

[Maddy McCall]

20. I love it. "Emergency backup kid."

This child refers to me as Mommy Number 2. He's a really really sweet kid.

Sometimes I've wondered about his home situation....his mom has confided in me about some stuff about her marriage...but I let it go and raise him just as I would raise my own. The kid rocks. He's a great youngun.
