I am just embarrassed enough about this to post it here, somewhat anonymously. LOL.

My preteen son does not like to take showers or baths (what else is new? LOL). Today I finally made him go take one because I could SEE the dirt on him.

Well, he did, but when he got out.... He still had dirt on him!!

"Honey! Did you even wash your arms?"

He said he did. But I grabbed a cloth and started rubbing/scrubbing at the dirt and it started sloughing off. He was aghast.

I decided this needed something to expedite the situation. I got my old foot scrub and used it on his arms. He was sort of horrified and fascinated at the same time. And his reaction at the end....was priceless!

"It's like I have brand new skin!! It's so soft!!"

Where's that laughing-crying emoji when I need it?! XD

My foot scrub is almost gone, so we took a quick trip to the store and got some exfoliating pads for him to use in the shower next time. :D What a goofball!

It was a fun "date." We don't do that often enough. We also got some Sunday clothes and a winter coat for him.
