I know that you are all eagerly awaiting updates from our vaca, but I have a question for those of you that actually brave my blog. I don't normally ask for opinions, because I'm worried about the responses I will get, but this one was one I couldn't pass up.
A little background: With the start of school (hip hip hooray!!!), my children are now required to actually take baths every night. (It may not last for long, but we'll give it the old college try.) We are alternating days with who goes first because....... I have two children. If they aren't fighting to go first, they are fighting to go last, go figure.
DS was to go first tonight. I told him to go and was greeted with an "Okay Mom." That should have been my first clue that things are not always as they seem.
Okay, rewind to, oh..., 10 minutes ago and this is the conversation that took place.
DD: (coming down the stairs naked with the bath water running) "Mom, DS and I need to start using different..."
Me: "Yes, get a clean towel." (Very long story - don't ask)
DD: "NO, we need to start using different soap."
Now let me interrupt for a moment. I am a fairly intelligent person, tend to have common sense and don't count myself as completely insane, so I should have let the whole conversation drop, but NOOOOOO.
Me: "Why?"
DD: " Because DS came out of the tub smelling like rotten rice."
Me: "What????"
DD: "He does!"
The moral was that DS is now taking a second bath because, as I was informed by Jenn, boys think that putting soap in their hair constitutes bathing.
HOWEVER----
Inquiring minds would like to know: "Does rice rot and what does it smell like?"
I know that it can go moldy, but does it actually rot and smell?

My rice expert has just left for work (and he's in a foul mood so best I not ask him even if he were home) but I do know he's mentioned maggots in the rice but that was when he lived in Honduras.
To solve the boy soap is the same as shampoo dilemma, I continue to use the Johnson and Johnson "all in one" baby wash...for my 11 and soon to be 9 year old. They smell quite nice after their showers (because eeewww...they get so grimy who would want to use the tub after they get out?)
my problem is getting them to wash behind their ears so I have to do a scrub down on them every few days or so...
and I'm w/ martha we do the three in one deal too....
i have never smelled rotton rice though????
First, just FYI, I'm pretty sure that my girls think getting wet = being washed and clean.
and second, maybe you should stop buying the Rotten Rice Rinse by Pantene.
Hrmmmm Very good question...I am going with yes...because as a rule everything rots at some stage..
Was that any help ?
