Smelly Shell
I finally solved the mystery of "The Smell"!
There was a terrible, pungent odour that was hanging around in the upstairs bathroom for the pass one week and I just couldn’t figure out what it was - or where it came from!
I searched every corner of the bathroom but nothing. Even put my head into the bog just to see if the smell was coming from there but even the freaking bog smelt good at that time!
I just didn’t understand! I mean, the bathroom was only this big, and it was obvious the damn smell was coming from in there cos you could only smell it when you stepped into it. So it was really weird that I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from.
So, I thought maybe it was coming from the bin cos second sister was having her friend visit her at that time so the bin was full off used friendship thingys but when I opened it up, it was empty! Ha! Imagine the HORROR of not being able to solve "The Smell"!!!!
Someone must have smelt it too and must have drawn the same conclusion as me (smell coming from bin) and emptied it….but nope, apparently, the smell wasn’t coming from there cos the bin was empty but the smell was still there!
After a while, I decided to give up on the search for the source of "The Smell" and just started praying and hoping that it will miraculously disappear one fine day.
So, one fine day, as I was sitting at the dining table munching on some cashew nuts, and chatting with the second sister about nothing, mummy walks down the stairs.
"Jodie Ho! Can you please take that shell of yours out of the bathroom! It’s stinking up the whole place!!!!"
And that, my dear friends, was the cause of "The Smell".
And I can’t believe that I never suspected it to be coming from that insignificant thing that the second sister was keeping, soaked in a cup of Dettol, in the upstairs bathroom.
