Do we stink?

Rick is a little obsessed with smelling good. Not that that is a bad thing or anything. Every once in a while he will get concerned that we, our family and house, stink. So he will bring home candles and room deodorizers. I do like to burn candles and I love those bath and body plug ins but to be honest I have a hard enough time just getting the dirty dishes off the table let alone having time to worry about lighting candles and changing plug ins. A few years ago we went to visit David and Megan. Rick came home committed to a better smelling house. Their house made quite a impression on his nose, it made our house seem like a barn. Ever since then he has obsessed about it a little bit. So during our vacation Rick told everyone that we needed to pay close attention to how the house smelled right when we walked in. That way we would know how our house smelled to other people. He brought this up a couple times. So upon our arrival we opened the door and took a great big whiff. I about fell over it stunk so bad. Oh no I immediately thought, do we really smell this bad. Then I realized we couldn't possibly. (If we do would someone please let me know) A little investigation turned up some garbage that had not been taken out and a dishwasher that had been stopped mid cycle and not restarted. The water in the bottom was green and slimy and the smell would knock a skunks socks off. By the next morning the house was back to its normal-not so great but not so bad- smell.
