“OMG!!” said my daughter said to me this morning. “Your scarf absolutely STINKS! IT”S REVOLTING! IT SMELLS OF SWEAT AND IT’S MAKING ME GAG”. So I smelt it. It didn’t smell that bad to me.
Enter sidedoor my 9 year old with a let-me-smell-I’ll-sort-out-the-problem sort of flourish.
One big sniff later and he gives his verdict.
“It smells of mum”.
Great. Something else to add to my list of woes.

March 10, 2010Sure she isn’t just pressing your buttons because she is a teenager and you are the only one who has to love her even if she uses you as a cat scratching post from time to time ?
I’m sure you smell lovely.

March 10, 2010Well I wondered what it was my lovely dog liked about you! !! He does always jump all over you – consider a change in perfume?!!! For the record I always think you smell absolutely fine xxx but if you are scaring off your children you had better do something about it hadn’t you – why not ask your lovely daughter what smell she would prefer? Waffles and syrup, vanilla ice cream and choc sauce? Maybe you could have an individual smell per child – a ‘wafter device’ that could attract different people and bind them to you…scent is very important afterall. We must remain well armed at all times.xx

March 11, 2010Cor, your 9 year old is going to have great chat up lines, isn’t he. Think about Al Pacino “Scent of a Woman” and all that. “Smells of Mum”. If Roja Dove could bottle that in Harrods Urban Retreat, it would go a bundle. And people stump up hundreds of quid.
And ignore the other one.
