Losing Lucy…

That was a trick headline…a carryover from my Yellow Journalism days.

Bet you didn’t know I worked for an underground newspaper when I was in college.

Anyway…Seven is at school but I feel like he is still in the vicinity.

I get in the car I used to chauffeur him to school and I could swear he was with me.

Ah Ha!

It’s the dollar store deodorant I bought him the other night.

Note to self…not everything you get at the dollar store is a bargain.

I tell him he smells…well…like a locker room.

He says maybe he should switch to cologne.

Why?

Because all the guys at school do.

We all know the parental response to this one – right!

In fact, he says, some people asked me where I got the great smelling new cologne.

You didn’t tell them did you?

Sure – Macey’s.

Whew!

Well, maybe we should invest a few more bucks and get Seven some deodorant that is a little tamer.

Just another day in the life of the warden of the family asylum.
