One of the MANY reasons my mom is AWESOME
I went to my mom's house today to hang out and help her bake cookies.
While there, covered in cookie batter she asked "do I smell?"
"Uh, no."
"Is smelling one of the side affects of diabetes?"
"Not that I know of. I'll have to ask the husband."
"Because the other night I woke up at 4AM dripping with sweat.."
"Yeah..."
"and I went into the bathroom and I smelled something really funky."
"Yeah..."
"and then I realized it was me."
"Really? You never smell bad.'
"Torrie, it was BAD. I smelled like a sick whore."
"Did you just say you smelled like a sick whore?"
"Yes. I'm trying to convey to you how BAD it was."
"Um, yeah, I think I get it."

There was my second laugh of the day. LOL. Go read Pissy - she gave me my first.

HA!
But...um...how does your mother know what a sick whore smells like? :-P

I'm sure Dr. Torrie already answered this question for Mom but yes, diabetics DO occassionally emit an aroma but it's not the scent of a sick whore at all (not sure what that would be)- in fact it's exactly what you would think...it's a sweet, super-concentrated sugar smell. Drinking more water is the cure. :)

I so love your mom. This story made me howl and then I started thinking about you bogarting the candy corn out of her centerpieces and her hollering at you. Now I really can't stop laughing ;)

I'm not positive, but I may or may not feel directly insulted by that remark.
I've been a sick whore for years, and no one's complained about my armoma yet. Well, not the ones who lived to tell about it.

He He. What does a whore smell like?

I smell just fine, Kylz.
(oh, and I have an AROMA, not an "armoma" - whatever that is)

hmmm...a SICK whore as opposed to a regular whore. i wonder what the distinction in scent is? ;)
that conversation would SO never happen with my mom.
