Eulallia: The Best Question Ever

The Best Question Ever

On the way home from Christmas shopping tonight, my daughter asked me the most wonderful question. Possibly the best question that has ever been asked in the history of the world...

"Mommy, what does green smell like?"

I told her I think it smells like freshly cut grass in the summer.

What do you think it smells like?

Suburban Turmoil said...: Right now, Christmas trees. Definitely Christmas trees.

But in general, chloryphll. Or um, chlorophyll. Chloryphyl? Aww crap.; 12/15/2005 07:45:00 AM
Karen said...: Hm, is that question anything like, "Mommy, what does water taste like?".

Ok, I finally have to ask, how did you get such a perfectly smooth, beautiful round pregnant belly in that picture? And why does the rest of you look so small and petite? Would you consider surrogacy?; 12/15/2005 09:12:00 AM
Manic Mom said...: Or a golf course on a sunny day... ooh Christmas trees is good.

Have you smelled those candles that smell exactly like fresh cut grass? How in the heck do they do that!

Too bad my kids are asking me questions like, "Mom, why are you getting a mustache?" Your child is definitely on the Higher IQ side--you breast fed, didn't you? ; ); 12/15/2005 01:31:00 PM

Queen Beth said...: I absolutely love the innocent questions children come up with! Children are so precious. I think green smells like pine to me. That fresh pine smell of a Christmas tree or even when you go to the mountains and take a hike and the trees smell wonderful!; 12/15/2005 06:36:00 PM
