B.O. and Boogers

oh and girls.  B.O., Boogers, and Girls.  That should have been my title.

I believe that we are on the puberty fast track at my house....yes we are.   J.  has been wearing deodorant for about 6 months now....usually the teen spirit brand (I guess it appeals to her).  Yesterday when I picked her up from school I decided that we are going to bring out the big guns.....Degree, secret....anything super strong.  My daughter was stinky!  I told her in a way that made her laugh instead of hurting her feelings....but man oh man...she was a stinky girl yesterday.  Maybe it will keep the boys away?  Is that bad?  LOL.

Then this morning after dropping J off and on the way to H's school he decided to enlighten me on a classmates classroom behavior.

H:  Mom, there is a boy in my class that picks his boogers and eats them.
Me:  Well that's not good. 
H:  Yeah it spreads germs.
Me:  Well, he is eating his own boogers so he's eating his germs.  Now if you were to eat one of his boogers that would be spreading germs.
H:  Mom!  That would be GROSS!
Me:  Yes, son it would....please don't eat anyone else's boogers.
H:  I don't eat ANY boogers!!!
Me:  Ok. Good.
H: (after a few minute pause) Girls don't pick their boogers (in a wistful tone).
Me:  Everyone "picks" their nose - most of us with a kleenex though.
H:  No mom!  Not girls.
Me: (In my head) He's got a lot to learn about girls!
