fragrance

the boy knows his dog
the wag of the tell tale tail
mom's cooking downstairs

his first cigarette
shouldn't a deodorant hide it
but it's a mom's nose ..

  2. You did good, Zoya. Mom's nose knows (I like your tell tale tail telling) but mine found my lighter for hard evidence.

  3. hard evidence is a wonderful thing jim ,

    in law it begins with charges,leading up to a
    a reasonable opportunity of defence , substantiation or otherwise of the charges ,
    hopefully a fair trial , and even more hopefully a fair verdict

    i am happy ur lighter was found and deemed to be hard evidence

    jurisprudence begins with moms and at home ..

  6. I never knew how my mama could tell if we tried to sneak a smoke when we were children until I became an adult and stopped smoking.

    AS a child we never wondered why we recognized the smell of our dog.

  7. Ha! I love your "tell tale tail" too! And yes, mothers can smell things other can't ... no matter how one tries to mask it. Very good indeed!
