    It’s got nothing to do with color. A meat and dairy-rich diet will cause any race to become pungent. A Korean friend told me a word used to describe Americans that, translated, means ‘butter stinker.’ Dairy-free people can literally smell a meat and dairy person coming. I can attest to diet changing your body odor; a year ago I went vegan, for three months no dairy or eggs. I had NO B.O.! My wife said I smelled kind of sweet. Then a four-cheese pizza came into my life and the B.O. came back. I’m still vegan, with forays into cheese, and the B.O. is still with me. As soon as there’s a good soy substitute for cheese, I’ll be smelling like roses.

    I think it’s a real shock to a parent when the child who has deified them in the past changes and now looks upon them with amusement, hate and loathing. So begins the years’-long battle until the kids are gone. This is a learning experience for both parties that neither has prepared for. To be lied to, ignored and embarrassed by your teen children naturally gets carried over into how one sees all teens. Adults still see themselves in their mind’s eye as young. I feel young, think young, I AM young. I know how young is supposed to be enjoyed. So, why can’t these other young people control themselves? One of the most remarkable and irritating acts is when a teen wakes up on their 18th birthday and has suddenly absorbed massive amounts of wisdom and knowledge from their pillow overnight, and refuses any suggestions or ideas or someone else’s take on the realities of the world – yet they still require regular infusions of cash. As you can tell, I still need closure on some things. My kids are all grown, and I finally learned to treat them like people, and they now listen to me – if I present my opinion in a non-threatening manner. This type of behavior takes years to learn. It is the hardest thing I have ever done, and they have made me cry with happiness, pride, anger and frustration.

    Now that some time has passed, I no longer growl when I see a teen. I believe that in a perfect world, kids should grow up in a multi-generational home, and the grandparents should raise the young, as they are the only ones who have enough wisdom and patience. Of course, for this to start, some unlucky generation would have to raise two sets of kids.

    Underwear. Move the letters around and they spell ‘sanitary barrier.’ They catch the last couple of drops that we can never shake off. They absorb the sweat from between the cheek area and other spots down below that would otherwise end up on your jeans. They let you get an extra day’s wear out of your clothes. Usually. Otherwise, you get this bacteria thing cooking, and pretty soon everyone can tell except you – and maybe the other commandos. Personally, I like my ‘boys’ to have a home, but boxers are there if you want freedom.
