if matt were a superhero he would be the one with the heightened olfactory- and since i googled that and didn’t find a name i’ll just say matt IS that superhero. talent? smelling. it is quite otherworldly how he smells- like a pregnant woman mixed with a drug dog and quite as unstoppable. surely we can figure out a way for this talent to save lives, right?
for now i just appreciate him suggesting i add more nutmeg to my alfredo FROM THE COUCH. it really is a gift and he’s never been wrong but it can be really incriminating. for example, if i slightly sear anything even the teeniest bit he’s on to me and running to cover the smoke alarm- yea we do that, don’t tell our landlord please. but i wouldn’t trade his abilities for the world as it comes in so handy when i’m unsure about the lunch meat or the milk from last week. in these cases, he’s clutch.
it does, however, ruin surprises. breakfast in bed? nope! the smell of coffee or apple turnovers will literally JOLT matt from his rem cycle. mind-blowing. for the most part i appreciate it but i didn’t write this post to blabber…
really, i just wanted everyone to know i am married to a superhero, that’s all!
* over christmas my aunts wanted to take an extended family shot and matt took it upon himself to set up the camera- the resulting test images totally cracked me up!
