Let's just say that teenage boys have a smell. It's not attractive. There's a reason some of them spend so much time in the shower.
Unfortunately, I don't have one of those. I have one who revels in the stench his body creates.
Over time, the stench ferments into a lingering, gagging kind of smell.
We don't care so much, if he can keep it contained in his room. But when it forms a cloud that begins hanging over the hallway and stairs, the upstairs begins to have the feeling of a bad horror flick: The Smell That Wouldn't Die.
We refer to his room at times like this as "Ass Caverns". It's dark in there. Three windows with the blinds pulled down and the curtains drawn add to the mystery of the place.
It's treacherous to enter. Like the Greek boy who used string to find his way out of the labyrinth, it's best to have someone else know that you're "going in" and how soon to call for help if you don't return.
It's worse if he's actually in there--he's probably sleeping, and that means he's au natural. If he's not sleeping, he's au natural, and even if you knock before entering, there's a good chance you'll hear him scream--because he's au natural, and it's un natural for you to see it.
It's like playing Russian Roulette with your senses--can you survive the smell? What will you see in there, and will it turn you into a pillar of salt?
If he ends up living with the squirrels, I wonder if he'll be au natural as well as au squirral.
