Smells Like
After a chaotic morning at work, I picked up an ‘easy’ client around 1pm. It was generally an enjoyable and no hassle encounter, but what he said (jovially) when he got in my car has stuck with me.
‘Wow Mr. Spencer! It smells good in here! It smells like a cake! What are you wearing?’
I had not purchased any bakery items that morning. I sniffed my shirt. I sniffed my arm. Do I somehow smell like cake? I literally only wear deodorant and patchouli. Do I have the sugar to such an extent that I literally make my surrounding area smell like a confectionary treat?
I played his observation off and I think he bought it. However, I am worried that I smell like a donut.
