Tough skin is a necessity some days. I need to start having at least a couple of cups of coffee before the 2 minute ride from our house to dropping the boys off at school. It is amazing how many conversations/confessions can occur in a 2 minute span.
Most days the revelations are directed at their brother but a mom can learn a lot by listening. Not so today. Today Lucas looks at me and says, "What smells?" Huh? I'm sniffing and thinking about all the possibilities that two boys could bring into the answer. Then he continues, "Oh it's you." Ouch! What! He very adamantly does not like my new perfume....and no I only put a little on and did not bathe in it. Usually he's the son to tell me that I look nice or whatever...not today....today it was Mom you smell....then I had to drop them at school and drive to work wondering if the perfume,that I really like, is that bad. My coworkers assure me it is just fine, so Filipino boy with the amazing smeller will just have to tough it out and I will have to drive to school with the windows down until I grow a thicker skin.
