Seth has a highly distinctive sense of smell but seems to be only sensitive when it comes to the odors--or perceived odors--of others. Just today, he came to me, laughing so hard he couldn't walk straight because his feet stunk from wearing his leather shoes without socks!
I digress even further to preface this story.
David has wonderful oral hygiene. He flosses and brushes his teeth at least twice a day. He gets his bi-annual cleanings...you get the picture.
So when Seth was getting antsy in church and David asked him to look at his face, David assumed he was being disobedient when Seth turning his face away replied," Please talk into my ear, daddy." David insisted and Seth complied but only after using his New Testament as a shield between his nose and David's mouth.
It only made sense the next day when David lifted Seth into his car seat, fastened him, and kissed him on the cheek and Seth said, "Daddy, I don't like your mouth so much, but that's a great suit!"
So if David begins getting mints from his students for Christmas, thanks to Seth, we'll know why.
BTW, look for an exciting change on my blog--coming soon!
