I Know How To Save Money

Liv:  Mom, when my kids come over will you try not to smell?

Me:  What?  I smell?  I don’t smell.

Liv:  When you’re old you’ll smell.  All old people smell.

So I guess as long as I don’t smell than I’m not old.

Challenge:  Accepted.

When I walk through the halls of the Junior High and High school my kids attend it reeks.  I do not know how teachers put up with that smell every day.  A breath of fresh air must mean something more powerful to them than most of us.  For this sacrifice alone teachers earn their money.

Body odor starts at puberty and follows folks through all their years.  Kids get the talk at school and are sent home with samples of deodorant along with other hygiene items.  Whether or not they use them is another matter.  After doing a little math, I estimate that the average person will spend around $900 in deodorant throughout their life.

Here are my TMI questions:

Have you ever noticed that only one of your armpits has an odor?  Why is that, do you think?  Weird, huh?

Looks like I’ll be saving $450.

Also, one armpit that smells means I’m only half my age. It’s going to take a long time until I’m fully old.
