What’s that smell?

At the end of a long day with my kids, knowing I may not have gotten to some chores I had planned to, or that I didn’t pick up as much as I’d like, there are 4 words that you should never, EVER say to me.

“Do you smell something?”

First of all, I do not smell anything. It probably smells like the girls’ dinner or a candle. Secondly, you enter the house through the basement level. Next to the garage. Where our trash barrels reside. And our kitty litter box. You should be worried if I spend my day making sure our basement is pleasantly fragrant. It means I have truly gone off the deep end.

You may, in fact, smell something. Let’s not ask that question from downstairs, 2 feet from the door to our garage. As a matter of fact, let’s not ask that question at all. It implies that I have been sitting here, all day, smelling something gross and not knowing how to fix it. Or worse, ignoring it.

Trash just doesn’t smell nice. Ever.

If you smelled something funny, doesn’t he think you might try to remedy it?? I just love blatant rhetorical questions. )

It’s funny. He also comes home to say “don’t you think it’s too hot in here?” Yes, Joe. I think it’s too hot in here and have been sweating my butt off all day. Thankfully you’re home to fix it for me!

This made me laugh out loud. My husband doesn’t ask “what’s that smell?”, he would rather drive me crazy sniffing loudly around the room which usually ends with me calling him Rover!

I get a stink in my entire house that stems from my dishwasher and I don’t know what to do!
