Something totally unexpected that a child told you as a parent

[TEB]

I would love to hear your stories Du community. So our one son he is sixteen mister and I were drying the dishes. And out of the blue he tells me about basketball practice yesterday.

Son - Dad you know those new sweats you picked up for me. Well I wore a set yesterday and I never washed them before I wore them.

Dad - Ok kiddo toss them in the hamper.

Son - Anyway dad I had to shower after practice at school instead of showering at home. Those pants smelled like some weird chemicals. And my crotch and balls smelled like those chemicals. As I sat on bench in my shorts doing practice.

Dad - thanks son shine for sharing and trusting me enough to open up.

1. Always wash

before wearing!

2. Yes! I've had sweats that bled red dye

In fact they bled red dye for months after I bought them and left red dye on my skin when I wore them even after they had been washed several times.

If TEB's son had worn them when they were new he would have looked like a massacre victim.......
