The Scent of a Woman

Reha, like many women has an incredible sense of smell. When she was pregnant, this ability was even more pronouced. Our first apartment had a particular odor and it made Reha hurl the second she came within range of it. From about a block away, mind you.

Reha’s making dinner and she has tasked me with slicing carrots. I’m close to her, but not that close. She takes a sniff and then gets up real close and takes a snoot full of my shirt.

“You have an odor. What is that?” and she takes quite a deep sniff.

“Um, I don’t know?”

“"Hmm. Smells like lilacs. Why do you smell llike lilacs?”

“Huh. Well, I walked into someone’s office just before leaving work and I think she had sprayed something. Maybe it was lilacs?”

“Yes, definitely lilacs. Man, am I good or what?”

Carrie pipes up, “Mom, you could be one of those drug sniffing dogs.”

“Well, that’s not the best compliment I’ve ever gotten, but thanks.”

“Well, if it’s any consolation, I’ve never thought you were a bitch, Re.”

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
