APPLEDOODLE COOKIES

My husband picked up my baby girl and asked, “Did she have pancakes this morning?”

“Uh, no. Why?”

“She smells like syrup,” he said.

Hmm. I didn’t think much of it until I was at the gym and realized I, of whom I was sure didn’t eat pancakes for breakfast, also smelled like syrup.

In college, there was a boy named Ja in my physics class. English was his second language and he didn’t talk much, but when he did he was super jovial and hilarious.

And he was always asking me out. He saved a seat for me in class every morning right next to him.

The only problem was Ja always smelled like syrup. Not just a hint of it. Like he had bathed in it.

So ever since then I’ve been very conscious of not smelling like syrup.
