One subtle difference between men and women, when a woman says, “Hey, come smell this” it usually smells nice.

    When my wife says that, she wants to show me that her cat pissed on something in the house. HER cat. Chosen by HER.

    I am going out on a limb here to say you aren’t married, or have children. Once either of those happen, it’s usually that she wants you to smell meat or milk or some food to see if it’s still good. Or to share with you how preposterous something smells that one of your kids did or made.

        Two of my three are teenagers now, and I completely agree. Not only that, but some of the science projects that my son has inadvertently created by leaving food in places in his room (which is against the rules of course), have had their own interesting odors.

            Lucky you didn’t have to get a new home with the grease + high heat = fire situation…

            As a teenager I ruined a 20+ year old microwave/convection oven by trying to microwave nilla wafers so I could put ice cream on them and it would melt. Turns out microwaves don’t play nicely with completely dry foods, made our kitchen smell like burnt cookies for days.
