Profile photo for Jane Sullivan

My old boyfriend kissed the top of my head and said ‘I love the way your hair smells’. Delighted I asked ‘oh, thanks. What does it smell like?’ To which he replied ‘it always smells like lasagne’.

Cut to a couple of decades later, tucking my 5 year old son in bed at night with a big cuddle. He says ‘hmmmm mummy you smell so nice!’ Me: ‘really darling, what of?’. Him: ‘mMMMmmm chicken nuggets AND mayonnaise!’.

Update: thank you so much for the upvotes and comments everyone! I'm amazed and delighted that this has amused so many people as much as it did me! Whodathunkit?
