Question #3 from Ashley (If you don’t know what this is all about, read this post):

What is the longest you have gone without taking a shower?

This is a fun, smelly question. You MUST answer truthfully!!

I usually don’t go too long without a shower. Even a few years back when I was real depressed and didn’t feel like doing anything, the longest I went without one was probably 2 or 3 days. It’s not like there was anything else for me to do…

Maybe another 2 day gap between showers when I go camping or when my friends and I need to meet a deadline for work or a project. But as soon as everything’s over, a shower is usually the first thing I get started on.

That’s all I can say about the subject of showering. Except for the fact that I can shower extremely fast, if I need to. Give me four minutes and I’m out the door.

Annie’s answer:
Well… I don’t want to scare anyone but the longest I’ve gone without taking a shower is seven days, I think. However, this definitely did not happen recently- I think I was about seven at the time. And I had a really good reason: I was deathly afraid of the bathroom!

See, when I was even younger, my uncle, who apparently likes to scare small children, told me that a flesh-eating ghost lived in my bathroom. I took to his lie quite seriously, so in every subsequent place I lived in, I feared the bathroom.

So, imagine being inside a haunted demonic prison in which you are naked and helpless! Wouldn’t you be a little less inclined to even step foot in a bathtub?

I think even to this day I get a little panicked when I have to take a shower in an empty house when it’s cold and dark outside…
