Daily Showering Tip (5/6/05)...

Kids, as much as your stuffed animals might beg for a shower during your daily "make believe" sessions, don't give them one. In reality, they'll just get water logged and eventually mildewed, which will make mommy and daddy mad. So let's practice, kids. Let's say your stuffed monkey, Kookamunga, has just finished "knocking boots" with a Pretty Pretty Princess. Kookamunga will probably say to the princess in a sort of deep, Barry White-type voice, "Oh, Princess Hotpants, I feel so dirty after what we just did. Let's go take a shower together!" That's your cue to put the dolls down, lie down on the couch, and simply imagine what will happen next. That way, everybody's happy.
