OK just one more — and this one is a list

Smells and sounds you never forget:

  • The click and butane smell of a zippo lighter
  • Your mother’s thanksgiving turkey
  • Gasoline at the filling station
  • Your grandmother’s perfume — in my case I think she wore either Chanel No. 5 or Shalimar
  • Wet Labrador running through the house to dry off
  • Garlic browning in olive oil
  • The roses of your bridal bouquet
  • Candy corn at Halloween
  • The smell of your own bed when you’ve been gone for a while

    I always loved the smell of gasoline. I thought I was the only one. I remember the smell of candy corn but didn’t like it. What is the last “THE”?

    Oops, I cut it off but then filled it in. The fresh cut grass is a good one. So are lilacs.
