This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Are we ignoring the fact they did this until they were 16? I mean like, if this ended when they were 12 that'd be pretty par for the course kid idiocy. But 16? Damn dude.

The person might be autistic, the sensory issue of shower but being fine with sink rinse sounds a bit similar to my own sensory problems and in that case the age range wouldn't be that off. At least the parent got the kid to clean itself so hopefully it worked enough to be hygienic
