One of my 'children' seems to be getting awfully dirty in a very short period of time. Just in playing the last hour, she's taken 6 showers because she's 'not feeling fresh'

Just thought that was a little odd.

Did you praise her every time she took a shower?

Some activities can cause them to "get dirty" faster than others, as well. Examples are: picking up wrappers, socks, pulling weeds and playing in the dirt. For adults, arguing and trying to have a baby seem to cause that "not so fresh feeling," as does a lot of exercise. Also, I've recently noticed that being outside in the rain causes them to display that status faster than when it is sunny.
