Smells like weed.
Our house has been kind of dark lately, lots of sadness. I heard burning sage might filter out the negative energy. The price was right on these sicks and I thought I would give them a shot. Can't hurt, right? This bundle of joy lit right up and produced lots of billowy smoke. I cleaned my kitchen while it burned itself out, with hope in my litte domesticated and sometimes super gullible heart. I left the house to pick up my teenager, and realized I smelled like sage... which happens to smell a lot like weed.
I rolled the windows down, blasted the air vents, put on some lotion, and stopped for fast food fries - hoping to mask the smell. Luckily, I didn't have to interract with any adults. Kid hops into car, "Yum! Fries!" He told me about his day, and we had a nice drive home. He stepped into the house and immediately asked, "What is that smell?"
I explained I burned an air freshener, and it kinda smells like weed.
"Mom? How do YOU know what weed smells like?"
Um.... "I don't? This is what I think it probably smells like?" Phew. Crisis averted.
"Sure, mom. Wink wink. I gotcha."
I consider breaking out the Febreze.
Enter second teenager. "Uh, what's with the smell?"
First son, "Mom's smoking weed. But don't ask her about it; she'll tell you it's an AIR FRESHENER."
"I AM NOT SMOKING WEED!"
*teenagers break into laughter*
... a sound that has been vacant for so long, and that I've missed so much.
I'm blaming that laughter on the sage.
