   It’s in its little box, holding onto that smell like a saint doing the rosary.

   shoes you never wear. memories you never open.

   Maybe we could trade soaps. You could use mine, and I could use yours. Then we could each be clean.

   Oh Jesus, Deron. That’s lovely as Christmas tinsel found on a weed in June.

   How y’all work me over.

   My aunt gave me a soap-on-a-rope for my 12th Christmas. Old Spice.

7. Rick Neece on April 25th, 2010 at 9:02 pm

   Danny did you use it? Or is it in some box in the attic of the garage?

8. Deron Bauman on April 25th, 2010 at 9:04 pm

   gracias.

   de nada.

    Cherished as it might be for some, I found the gift of soap at 12 to be a nonplus experience. Never used it, didn’t keep it, but could easily replace it. Unlike my youth.

11. Rick Neece on April 25th, 2010 at 9:12 pm

    Ah, the rub.

12. Daryl Scroggins on April 25th, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Danny! Soap-on-a-rope at 12. I remember that. I think mine was Brut though. It came at a time when I thought it must be some sort of hitherto unexplored sexual device; I remember pulling it from the wrapped Christmas box with a faint embarrassment.

    At 12, my brother (at 22) received Rock’em Sock’em Robots through my youthful intercession. Oh, to be a conduit for bath products or pseudo-pugilistic devices. Welcome to my world.

    I have clothes I never wear. Not because I don’t like them, just because they are new and so I go around in circles – anyone fancy wearing my new clothes for me so I can wear them?

    I recently found some soap in the attic that I had put there for safe keeping some time ago – it was pretty messy due to the heat and had seeped into everything around it. Still, the smell will remind me of it.

    I have some little blue soap eggs that I keep thinking I’ll do something with. Taxidermically speaking, you know.

    When I’m visiting someone and they have special little soaps in the bathroom (shells, starfish…) I am always reluctant to use them. It makes me a spoiler to do so. I believe I have also mentioned that I don’t like cloth napkins, especially if something like BBQ sauce is involved.

17. Michael Smith on April 26th, 2010 at 10:20 am

    We do not have special soaps but we also do not have any paper napkins (or paper towels) if, Daryl, you find yourself at our house for a meal do not feel shy about asking for an extra cloth napkin.

    The aforementioned soap takes up prime real estate in the shower caddy. Basically, I need to shit or get off the pot.

19. Cindy Scroggins on April 26th, 2010 at 10:57 am

    Michael, it isn’t that he feels bad for needing more than one cloth napkin–it’s that he’s actually scared of cloth napkins. I don’t understand it, but I can definitely attest to it. He’s also scared of street grates–thinks his keys are going to jump out of his pocket and make a dive for the sewer.

    Very strange man, that Daryl.

20. Michael Smith on April 26th, 2010 at 11:05 am

    Well…we have an abundance of baby wipes or he could use toilet paper but I’m against paper napkins. Either that or we can all go to Vegetarian Drive-In not far from us – they have paper napkins.

    See that, you guys didn’t even know you were visiting and I’ve gone and planned a whole meal.

21. Michael Smith on April 26th, 2010 at 11:08 am

    Kelsey, until recently we had giant bottle of shampoo and a smaller bottle of conditioner that both Alicia and I refused to use on our shower caddy. Finally I just threw the damn thing out.

    And here I am going on about how wasteful paper napkins are.

22. Kelsey Parker on April 26th, 2010 at 11:10 am

    Why wouldn’t you use it?

23. Michael Smith on April 26th, 2010 at 11:12 am

    Well, we were both under the impression that shampoo should clean your hair.

    KP – me too. La Luz “Angelica” soap, made with goats milk. It smells like heaven. It’s been discontinued, and I have one bar left…

25. Michael Smith on April 26th, 2010 at 2:05 pm

    mmm…goat cheese.
