Do I detect a hint of minty freshness?

I took a break this PM to participate in the adult Pinewood Derby using Cameron's car with extra weights and a last-minute modification--a spark plug socket taped onto the top! (I had to work in the clerk's office towards the end, but it seems I tied for 4th with 4 other contenders).

Anyway, as we got into the car, I smelled a terrible odor emanating from a back seat in the back seat.

"ERIN!" I yelped through watering eyes, "You need to stop that!" (She had been 'active' (as in an sulphrous gas-spewing active volcano) all night.)

Makenna, always quick to come to Erin's aid, sang out, 'I think it smells good!'

Erin added, 'It smells minty!'

Yeah, like a mint and a steaming pile of fresh horse dung, minus the mint!

UPDATE: As I was going up and down the stairs lugging boxes, every time I reached to top of the stairs I was smelling something that was less than pleasant. I poked my head into the girls' room....and immediately regretted it.

I sure am glad that the kids are not bloggers yet, as they would probably find payback for Daddy for such as the above rather easy--even child's play!
