I Can Dig It

Day of the Deodorant

The boys entered the tent to find deodorant on their beds.

"What's this?"

"Boys, I brought you some deodorant. You put some in your armpits every morning, and you don't smell."

Armpit seemed excited, "It will save us shower tokens?"

"Yep. And your clothes will be clean when they get washed. But you can't give it to anyone, okay?"

Caveman liked the idea, "Got it. By the way, what does it smell like?"

"Morning dew. Or rain, if that's what you prefer."

Zigzag opened his stick, and smelled it.

"It smells like rain!" He yelled.

"We are going to smell like the long lost rain!" Caveman exclaimed.

They all cheered.

"Thanks, Sugar." Said Magnet, "We are going to be respected now, thanks to you and your deodorant."

"Anytime. I'll teach you how to use it in the morning. Until then, don't use it."

We all laid down on our cots, and went to sleep. I woke up with Zero sitting on my cot, his hands firmly gripping my shoulders. The rest of the boys were standing around me, and looked worried.

"Hey Sugar. You awake?" Zero said gently.

"I think so."

"You slept through the trumpet."

"Really? What time is it?"

Armpit remarked smugly, "Time for you to teach us how to put on deodorant."

"I did say that, didn't I?"

Zig added, "Yes. Yes, you did."

I sat up on my cot, "Good morning boys."

"Go get your deodorant, and unzip the top half of your suits."

Magnet replied with a respectful 'Yes ma'am' before performing the task.

"Now take off the cap and twist the bottom until there's just a little bit out of the tube." They each followed directions, some struggling a bit before understanding what to do. I modeled as an example.

"Good. Now, lift your left arm above your head, and put on three coats. Like this." I lifted my left arm and put on the deodorant, and I honestly didn't care about the boys seeing my bra.

"Now, do the exact same thing on the other side." They all mirrored my 'technique'. "Now twist the bottom the other way and put the cap back on. You just need to zip up, and you're done." I admit, it was pretty weird to be teaching boys how to use deodorant, but it was for their own good.

Armpit laughed, "I smell better already."
