  I think its called testosterone!

  That's what it is called. I just scrubbed my soon-to-be-13-year-old grandson on the day before the 4th of July. I was tired of him smelling like a young bull. You should have seen him clinging to the shower curtain! I lathered him from head to underarms and rinsed him down. I left with instructions that he was to finish the other part or I would come back in and finish it. When he came out he was smelling like a rose or a nice fir tree. I should have had a bar of that Octagon lye soap. It works wonders on boys' smells.

  I am a little behind the times here, but this thread has had me laughing my head off. I have a son, he is still young, but it has been a battle to teach him to be clean. At times, I think we may be winning, but the room does have an odour as I walk by, and I keep the door closed as much as possible. He also has a set of drums in there that is often surrounded by unmentionables!

  I noted this comment

  He's a great boy, never been in trouble, not even one speeding ticket. He keeps his truck spotless

  Guess what--keeping his ROOM clean is not a priority or he would do it. His priority is his truck--a more public item than his room. I suggest subscribing him to Flylady.com for some help
