All Up In Your Grill
At my age I don't get offended by anything someone may say to me. If a friend told me I was 'ripe' I would just be embarassed. I'll use the baby powder that another mentioned - just in case. I do remember as a young teenager in high school making MYSELF aware of what BO was. Mom never told me. I wasn't sure how to clue her in to my problem so just started using hers. That should be on the list of things to tell your kids about as they age so it doesn't catch them unexpectedly.
When I started noticing a rancid stench coming from the direction of my kids, I handed them a container of D-O 4 B-O.
