my kitchen is clean

The weather is lovely.  It stormed last night.
I've had the windows open while I've been actually cleaning the house.  finally.

cleaning, cleaning, cleaning...
No tv.  No music even.  Just outside sounds and my thoughts.  Which are boring.  But hey.  S'all good.

Then I smell it.  That smell that I smell after the kids have been out playing.  I do not like that smell.  I make the kids go shower.  That sweaty, outdoorsy, body odor smell.

But I've been cleaning.  I pulled my shirt out a little and sniff.  Next I try my under my arms.
Hmmm.  It's not me I'm smelling.

Wait a minute.

Could it be?

Could it really be true?

All these years I've been making my kids wash off...

FRESH AIR?!
