Is this what Kurt Cobain meant when singing "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? There's been an explosion in the male population on our street in recent weeks. Seems to coincide with the recent return of our neighbor's teenage daughters. In my parental incompetence, I had to ask who one boy was, only to find out it's a neighbor behind us that the boys have played with for a couple of years. The boys always go to his house, I've seen him only a handful of times in the last couple of years. I mistook him for a new neighbor with his new found interest in our street.
The cause of the increase of testosterone you may wonder? Two girls who are growing into beautiful young ladies. The interest seems to be mutual. The older sister seems to have her sights on one boy, the younger sister it seems is picking on my son recently. The problem begins when each girl has quite a following. Steven will NEVER be mistaken for Mr. Suave. Instead he loses it completely coming just short of drooling.
The smell of Teen Spirit is much better than prepubescent boy, as it's become so much easier coaxing a young boy to the showers. The mere mention of a specific girl's name is all it takes. Just a few weeks ago, this same boy seemed highly allergic to the reaction caused by mixing soap with water. This morning, just one vague statement, he was "Speedy Gonzales", just a blur and brisk wind as he sped passed to the bathroom.
Ah, the smell of teen spirit...such a breath of fresh air.
