Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Scent

I needed new shampoo, so I went to the grocery store. My regular brand is Head and Shoulders. They had it, but I wanted a big bottle. The only big bottle they had was a different flavor than I’m used to, but I got it anyway. Shampoo is shampoo, right?

Not really.

This shampoo has a different smell. For the first couple of hours after I shower, I can smell my own head. It’s a little disorienting. I’m hoping to be used to this new smell soon so I don’t notice anymore. If there were such a thing as Head and Shoulders “no scent”, I think I might try it. I already use scentless soap, deodorant, and lotion. If it weren’t for my shampoo, I wouldn’t smell like anything. As it is, I can’t sneak up on people to assassinate them because they’ll smell me coming.

It's a light scent redolent of citrus and peony.

    Heh. “Extra Volume”. To help your bangs stand tall and feel big?

      I thought it would make me louder. The kids are talking in class so much these days, I need to be heard above the noise.

    Sorry about your assassin career tanking.

    I think you wouldn’t go through the smaller bottle so fast if you didn’t apply it to your shoulders.

    • Lloyd

      I”m with Lauren, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out just where your shoulders stop.

      • Peggy

        HA !

    Is there no unscented at your local health food place?

    • Brad

      Well, I do use Head and Shoulders for a reason. Using any old unscented shampoo may lead to unpleasant consequences.

    Dang…I was gonna say something about the volumizing (taken); then I was gonna say something about ‘shoulders’ (also taken). Duple Dang!

    Um…well, I’ve always appreciated the way you smell like nothing. In fact, whenever I’m not smelling something, I assume you’re around.
