There's also a magic point between the beginning of puberty and the point
where the urge to bathe kicks in. That's where we are now. Sometimes the kid
just smells to the point that you can't stand to be in the room (or the CAR!)
with him. He's pretty responsive when we ask him to bathe/put on deodorant
at that point, but it can be pretty bad. LOL
