The "Good" Smell

Last week I got an email, one of those chain kind of getting to know you things. This one was my type though, short and sweet. You had to answer 5 questions with four answers. For example, four things you watch on tv.

Now I'm a pretty decisive person on the spot, but if I really start to think about something I realize I may have answered a different way, given more time. One of the "questions" really intrigued me, name 4 of your favorite smells.

Well, I answered sawdust, my kids when they are sleeping, fresh cut grass and white musk for the following reasons:

1.sawdust: reminds me of my dad
2.my kids sleeping: something about their breath and blankies combined that I love
3.cut grass: reminds me of being a kid
4.white musk: reminds me of my mom

I then got back a couple of peoples responses and when I read them thought, "Oh yeah, that's a good one too!"

Like these:

the earth after it rains in the summer (Kerry)

the "good" smell - a fireplace in the winter or fall (Maureen)

chlorine (Lisa)

Then I was lying in bed that morning at 4:30 not able to fall back asleep and thought of some more and then talked to Maun that morning and came up with this list:



a new box of crayons
playdough
a brand new baby
Sean's pillow
my nursery school
crocuses
tulips
coppertone sunscreen- not the coconut one
chlorine
a new car
