As a parent, hygiene for a baby is important. You clean everything, all the crevices, the ears, and especially make sure they don't stink. Then why do some parents let their kids go when they hit the 'teen' years? I teach once a week to High School kids and sure, most of the kids come crawling in as if they didn't have time to clean up. But its expected, I can live with that, its Saturday. But last Saturday I saw the nastiest thing- One of my kids, wearing sandals, had toenails the size of moldy surfboards! This wasn't just an overnight thing, it definitely took some time. Makes you wonder what his parents are like. Do they even know? How can they not notice? Maybe he's on the swim team and need flippers to swim faster...
