My son needs deodorant.
He'll only be 9 in two weeks.
Stinky, stinky boy.
That is kind of a crazy milestone. My little 8 year old in third grade needs DEODORANT! I mean he definitely needs to be de-odor-ized, I do not despute that...but he's my little boy. In third grade!
So as I glanced over the wide selection at Wal-Mart, I am noticing they don't have Scooby-Doo, Sponge Bob, Pokemon, Spiderman, or Speed Racer deoderant. I had to buy the same stuff I buy my big old manly husband!!! But not the same smell...that would be wrong. I smelled a great many deodorants to see which one smelled more like a little 8 year old than a big muscly man. I settled on Speed Stick (close to Speed Racer - I'll put a couple car stickers on it in a minute.) Irish Spring-Icy Blast! It's more of a soapy clean smell than a spicy musky smell. And it'll help him smell great ALL DAY! I am accepting the growing boy.
This is for you Mrs. Tillison.

I smelled him too. It was a necessary step. I'm proud of you.
You make a very good point...maybe you could come up with a marketable pre-teen deoderant...you would definitely have a market.
I'm laughing ... with you ... not at you.
They seriously grow up so fast! There needs to be more people like you making the world less stinky.
What - Nash and BO-derant. It must be from living in the south where things are hot and muggy (like underarms) The crazy steps of puberty----------

I know this is an old post, but I had to comment. I believe it was your mother-in-law, Beverly, that dubbed that smell "Dirty, Dog, Boy." I used to practically gag when I had to empty out Harrison's dirty clothes basic into the washer. Welcome to the world of growing boys.
