Senses

I haven't blogged for quite some time...  So, we will see how this goes :)  Mason is constantly doing and saying things that make me laugh and amaze me at the same time.  About 6 months ago, Mason discovered the sense of smell.  So the last 6 months has been spent explaining smell, and that some smells stink and others are pretty!!  During a parade this summer...  Mason raised the question... as he always does ...  "What's that smell like?"  and I respond as always  "I don't know Mason, what does that smell like?"  Mason then said "It smells like horse and poop!"  He was right, it did smell like wet manure.  Then a couple of weeks ago, as we are walking out of our usual food joint (McDonalds)  Mason asks "What's that smell like?"..  and I, having heard this question a gazillion times... was annoyed but managed to must muster out "I don't know Mason, what does that smell like?"  and he responded with Poop and Feet...  Once again, RIGHT it did smell like that...  Why is it that every McDonalds must have a sewer opening right outside their front door.  Do they want to deter people from eating at their facility?  Or, do they think that after having a delicious Big Mac meal, that you will walk outside, barf up the recently ate food, and then re-enter to divulge in more of their low fat recipes?..   Just a thought!!  Anyways...   Last weekend we were on our way to Salt Lake.  When we arrived at our destination..  I proceeded to put some perfume on.....   Bet you can't guess what Mason asked?....   ding ding ding... You're right!!  he asked "What's that smell like?"....  uggggggghhhhh...  I've answered too many questions today, and he is now going to tell me that I smell like poop...  so I didn't answer...   Silly me, like that will stop him from asking again...  "Hey mom, What's that smell like?"  In my super annoyed and frustrated voice I say "I don't know Mason... You tell me!"  and in the most angelic voice, he responded with...  "It smells like Pretty Mom"
