Do you know where that has been?
she would say to me. I was holding something in my hands.
well yes, mom I always wanted to say, i found it.
But I never did (I suspect fear may have forced me to keep quiet).
Did your mom ever say things like that to you?

@DocAndersen I think that boys care less of hygiene than girls.

I can't recall that any of us really cared one way or another @DocAndersen the main thing was to be done with our chores so we could go out and play.

Yeah. I never backsassed my mom, though. She had a backhand that Roger Federer would kill for.
