How do I tell a 8 year old he smells?

QUESTION:

My brother's friend doesn't shower everyday and he smells up my whole house! How do I tell him to shower up without being mean?

JOHNNYDOLLAR ANSWERS:

Kids have a fragile ego, so it's best to make a game out of it. Tell him Santa Claus is outside, and when he runs outside, blast him with a fire hose. Play tag with him and when he comes around the corner, get him in the face with a box of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda. You can try daring him to snort Lysol or to eat potpourri.
