Hose-water

I noticed today that hose water has a specific smell, it doesn't smell bad or good for that matter but it just has a smell. It smells like summer, actually it smells like a water-gun fight. I remember one time when I couldn't find a water gun so we had a Windex bottle fight, I'm not sure if we rinced out the window cleaner.... I think it's funny how a smell can bring you back, "they" say it's the strongest sense when it comes to memory, but it's usually a lot easier to carry around a photo album. I guess that's the trick, a smell usually triggers a memory when you least expect it, looking at pictures is kinda cheating I guess... like you're forcing it. I guess music is like smell, a lot of songs remind me of people or things, but mostly feelings or times. And we're not always in control of what songs we're listening to... but for some reason smell's supposed to be the sense most tied to memory or maybe it's all a load of crap. It's easy to make up stats that no one can really check, like did you know that your kidney would make the best house-guest of all your internal organs? (okay that's all I could come up with) One day I'm gonna meet these people that like to say things, you know the ones, you know "what they say" ... most kids have trouble with that, even I've wondered "who are "they" and why do they give my mom an excuse to make me do things?" I think we've all made that joke. But I kind of feel like I've become one of them cuz I'm sure I've said enough things, or just passed on one of "their" famous tibits. What would makes the most sense is if we said "you know what we say..." but I guess no one wants to take responsibility if it's wrong. It's something to hide behind, it's "them" who are telling you what to do , not me... they're the ones trying to make me feel smarter than you.



I love the smell of a water-gun fight.
