There was this one time i was babysitting 7 kids in one house. Their ages were 2-8.

As i was sitting with the two year old in my lap, a 5 year old sits rather close to me and preceeds to watch her older siblings play the Wii.

Later, that same 5 year old takes off her shoes.

And i notice that her feet smelled.

It smelled like chocolate cake.

Now I'm not saying it smelled like good chocolate cake

but nonetheless, chocolate cake.

A few Wii games and tantrums later this one particular 3 year old starts begging me for some candy. I respond by giving him random sweets from the bowl, then continue to watch the games on the flatsceen. Seconds later, i smell chocolate M&M's ( for those who may not know its a chocolate candy), i look down expecting to see the candy, only to notice i gave the 3 year old a lollipop.

No chocolate.

And after useless minutes of trying to find out where the hell the smell came from

I notice the 3 year old had taken his shoes off.

It was his feet.

And i asked myself

"I wonder if chocolate-scented feet is genetic, or does everyone have it?"

And then i wondered.

"Hm, I wonder what my feet smell like."

But then I guess i stopped caring because afterall it isnt really important and has no major effect in my life.

A true tale of mere experience.
