I smell dog farts.

My daughter is totally nuts. As is any other three year old. But I think she is definitely unique in her, um, abilities?

I am a very outgoing person, and lack many social graces. I'll own up to that. And my daughter is following right along in  my footsteps. Which is odd, considering I wasn't like that as a child, and her father never has been or ever will be.

We were taking our pup on a walk at the park this afternoon after dropping the hubs off at work. He has been feeling kind of down lately, so last night I cooked him a special dinner (scallops, roasted asparagus with mushrooms, butter parsley potatoes, and corn) and bought him a special treat - olives stuffed with chorizo. Apparently, he really likes them, and sent me a text describing how much he enjoyed them. Let's just say he compares olives to me, in a married sense. There's another gentlemen walking the trail back to the parking lot while I am reading this message, and I laughed out loud. Little girl asks "what's your deal mom?" I have got to watch what I say around her! I tell her that daddy sent me a gross message. "Oh, daddy's gross?" I said "yep, he's pretty gross." She says "Bella's gross, I smell her dog farts." Then she looks at this other guy and says "that guy is gross too. I smell his farts."

While the guy didn't turn and look at me, I saw him tense up. I told her to say she was sorry, and she did, however, that guy - who is frequently there at the same time as we are - will forever remember me as the mother of the child who could smell his farts.

And it's only 3. I have a whole day of fart smelling ahead of me.
