“If you are staying Thadeus, you have to go through a rigorous bathroom etiquette as laid down by the law of The Thunderous Mother.”
Thadeus sits up excitedly.
“What is that master Will?”
“Oh you will enjoy it.” I have my fingers crossed behind my back. “Every modern day boy is absolutely mad for the rigorous bathroom etiquette.” I suck my cheeks in to control myself.
Today, we wash ourselves constantly but can you imagine how a 14th century teenage boy could smell?
Hi,
Oh I did love the bathroom plan, and the “weapons” found in the cabinet, had a bit of a laugh about the face mask, unreal.
Really enjoyed the read, a great post.
Thank you so much – it’s a little piece from Will Blyton and The Stinking Shadow. It’s written to encourage boys aged 9-12 to read.
I thought it was brilliant, I think it would appeal to a great many readers, you can’t help but laugh as you picture it in your mind.
Thanks – have you ever tried a mud pack – the one which is just called “Mud”? If you haven’t, it feels like your face is being sucked up – can you imagine how that would feel to someone from the 14thC. It’s bad enough when you know what is happening.
