Sniff, sniff. That's my 3-year-old son detecting an aroma of some kind in the air. He has the world's greatest set of nostrils. Really.The boy has a very sensitive sense of smell. I've never seen anything like it. Over the past month or so, he's been bombarding me with questions about things that he smells.Tonight, we walked into Carrabba's Italian Grill, and he said, "What's that smell?" Obviously, it was the aroma of Italian cooking.Yesterday, driving in the car, the exhausts of other vehicles could be detected. Within seconds, Hayden asked, "What's that smell?" Drive over a skunk..."What's that smell?" I spray air freshener in the house, "What's that smell?" Chopping boiled eggs for tuna salad, "What's that smell?" Walk into a furniture store that sells leather sofas, "What's that smell?"Nothing gets by him.Funny, at times he'll have an "accident," and I NEVER hear him say..."What's THAT smell?"
