Smells get me! Add to that the fact that I have a weak stomach! This morning I had to make a stop at the library to pick up a book that was being held for me. I decided to make a quick look through the new releases when all of a sudden I caught a whiff of an odor. It smelled like what I would imagine someone would smell like if they hadn't bathed in a month! I looked around and didn't see anyone and was at first horrified that it was me, and I had just showered this morning! Then, as I proceeded down another aisle I smelled it again! I tried to inconspicuously smell myself and realized I was OK! This time I looked around and I spotted a youngish man who looked a little rough, a few bookcases over, and that's when I realized it was him and he was smelling up the whole new release section! I had to quickly leave because by that time I was starting to not feel very well. Next stop was the grocery store! Needless to say I was feeling a little queasy which made it very easy to stick to my list...
Uggh! I do my civic duty when one of my 7th graders is smelling and remind the class that they need to take a bath every day, not wear the same clothes twice, and use deodorant. Sounds like this young man needs this speech!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is so much like this about smells! Her thing is dirty hair so I can't be around her if I skip even a day of washing my hair! Ha! I thought you were going to say it was a book because I've had some books held for me at the library that smelled like an ashtray was wedged in between the pages. Ewww!
