I told both of the kids that they must take a shower this morning because we are going to sister in law and brother in law's house for dinner and they are not going like stinky boys. easy child, of course, says, "Okay, Mom!"
difficult child's answer? "Why do I have to take a shower? I just took a shower yesterday! You're so not fair!"
I told him that if he didn't want to shower tomorrow that was fine, but he's 14, and by nature 14 year old boys are stinky. It's Thanksgiving, and he needs to make a little extra effort.
He grumbled about it, but is actually in the shower right now. How well he washing himself is another issue.
