Overheard

Last night as we were finishing dinner, my son stood to rinse his plate.  Out of nowhere, he then stated, "I wondered why I smelled so good, then I realized it was from the soap."  I burst out laughing and asked him if he had just discovered soap.  Visions of 16 years of showers without ever using soap passed through my mind.

He laughed and told me that while he was on the bus to school yesterday morning he noticed that his hands smelled really good.  He'd used our hand soap in the kitchen - a Jergens Tropical Vanilla scent for the first time, and then noticed later that he still smelled good.  I for one was relieved that he was not actually using soap for the first time, just discovering that he liked a new scent.
