Things I wish people would document, plus some original fiction. Weird, huh?

Of Suits and Smells – A Parent’s Remorse

April 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Yesterday it rained big-time here in Sunny Northern California. During church I was requested, nay, commanded, to run out to the car for our insurance cards for some random reason. I was wearing the suit that inspired this little memory:

TheBrotherhood

After the run to the car and back, I was wet to the skin pretty much all over except the shoes. I noticed a number of curious smells coming from my suit. I was able to pick out (in no particular order):

Cologne (mine).

Barf (not mine).

Formula.

Soggy wool.

Reconstituted drycleaning fluid smell.

Cheerios and/or cheezy crackers.

Fruit snacks.

Chalk.

Now I know I’ve had the suit cleaned since then, and while I’ve accepted that I will have booger and drool marks on my shoulder until the youngest hits about 5, why do the smells remain?

Yuck.
