We were driving home from the dentist's office today when my youngest son wrinkled his nose and inquired,"What is that stinky smell?" Everyone checked the bottom of their feet for doggy do and when that turned up nothing, he continued to insist that "something smelled really bad."

Apparently, the smell was so terrible, it caused his nose to twitch -- which, in turn, caused him to sneeze. He kindly-remembered-his-manners-thank-you-very-much and covered his mouth and nose with his hand as he sneezed. Then he lifted his finger to his nose again and took a big old whiff of it again and almost fainted.

Did you know that a little boy's finger that has been bandaged for 4 days because it had an invisible cut on it smells exactly the same as a pair of wet worn gym socks that have lain on a locker room floor for three weeks? I'm just sayin'...
