Confessions of a smell-aholic.

I am fascinated with how things smell. I can often be found smelling my surroundings. When I pick something up, it usually goes directly up to my nose for a scent inspection (clothing, shoes, even the occasional poopy diaper). You name it, I would probably smell it. So naturally when I grabbed a couple of fresh laid eggs out of the coop the other day, up to my nose they went. I am not quite sure what I was expecting to find. But I thought, "newborn babies smell sweet, so a newly laid egg will smell sweet also."


Well, they certainly don't smell anything like a newborn baby. They don't smell sweet, they smell weird. I have never smelled a chicken fart, but I imagine that it would smell something like the shell of a newly laid egg.

Regardless, I still smell them every time I pick them up.
