He runs out of the bathroom after a 20 minute shower leaving puddles of warm water trailing through our home. "Smell me!" he says as he pushes his head under my nose. "Smell me. I smell great!" I do and he does. "I used everything in the shower. EVERYTHING!" He is so proud. Later that night, as I take my shower I find: all 5 bars of soap still partially lathered, every shampoo and conditioner bottle opened and askew, and all of my sample envelopes ranging from Healthy HooHoo to acne cleansers,  botanical shampoos to magnetic hair rejuvenation creams, all tore open and empty. For this, I fall in love all over again with a 12 year old kid. And he smells great!
