As a kid, if I rode in a vehicle for more than an hour, I was likely
to get carsick. Thanks be to ginger ale and pretzels for many of my
travel woes over the years and for Mom for introducing both to my diet.
I eventually outgrew my carsickness but not my sensitivity to stinky
things in cars, especially my old VW that kind of smells like wet dog
on rainy days. Take new car smell. It's really dried glue and plastic
that people huff appreciatively during a test drive. Sometimes it's the
leather.
Then there are babies - who when fresh from a bath smell
particularly good. As I was washing baby's clothes in preparation for
her arrival, one thing was missing. That intoxicating baby smell. Part
of it is because the baby isn't here yet. But also the perfumes used in
detergent smell kinda good. But to be on the safe side, I'm using
detergent without dyes or chemicals.
So which do you prefer?
New baby smell
New car smell
I like both equally
I never held a baby but "baby" is what I call my car
