Air freshener
I am raising a passel of comedians. If I take my crazy brood with me into stores, they are sure to entertain me with their observations of stupid product names etc. We have had a long time fascination with air fresheners. As the mother of six boys (and three girls), we were in a store reading the titles of air fresheners and we all burst out laughing at the one titled, "After the Rain". Yes.....aptly named for the bathroom. We have been devoted customers of this variety ever since. Tonight we were looking at carpet freshener, as we are obsessed with masking the smells of reality around here and the one we chose was "Mountain Rain". So....the conversation then went to what exactly does mountain rain smell like as opposed to back yard rain or prairie rain. I must say my children keep me amused. The icing on the cake was when we were listening to Pandora and Dean Martin was singing some song about how he let this wonderful girl get away and my dear eldest blurts out, "Dumbo". My kids kill me. Dying of laughter would be a good way to go. Added bonus to the whole evening was singing two of my favorite hymns at the Divine Service this evening, both of which I think I would like to be sung at my funeral. My eldest broke out in this awesome descant on the final verse and in that case brought a teeny tear to my eye as well as a smile. Who couldn't love "Sing with all the Saints" and "Lo! He comes". Sweet
