What’s up with mom’s and bathing? Every morning mom wakes me up and before I make a dash to the breakfast plate, comes the daily taunt I’ve been hearing for the last 3 months. “Dont forget to take shower”. For crying out loud!!! What’s with taking a shower at 7AM in the morning when it’s soo cold out there. Even a hot water shower gives me the shivers as soon as I step out of the bathroom. I genuinely forgot to take shower during the first cold day of the season, but now I just skip it to irk my mom… hehe…
Surely she over criticizes me as she is a nurse in civil hospital too and sees several R1 doctors (Esp. Ortho docs) who frankly speaking take a shower once a week. I’m very clean compared to all of them. Ain’t I? And If all ppl took a shower at the beginning of the day, then what will happen to all those workers at the Deo manufacturing units. They would face a lull in business and would be forced to cut down on the jobs. Imagine all those jobless fellows. How can I make my mom understand that I’m skipping showers for a social cause. In fact join my movement and use a deo all times. Regular shower’s should be banned in this country which faces acute water crisis (I am an environmentalist too… 
)
Imagine all the good things you would do if you did not bathe daily:
Simply speaking, I don’t skip bathing because I am unhygienic. I do it because I care for the people and the environment. If only my mom would understand.
Post edit - I barely finished this article when mom pulled me by his ear and thrust me in the bathroom and warned me of dire consequences if I came out unclean…. Bah!! it’s all a conspiracy
