When I was little I believed black people smelled like cheerios.
From about age 1 to early elementary school, my twin sister and I were babysat at a daycare center ran by a BW in her home with her husband and son (though he wasn't much older than the rest of us) and her sister helpin' out and it smelled like cheerios and I remember thinking the cheerio smell was there because "they were different". Then I grew up. I'm sure it was really all the kids/babies there and instead of cheerios it was probably really baby formula, heh.
I still run into her in town sometimes in stores and stuff and we always hug and talk about, "Do you remember when..." and what we're up to now.

I was sad when she told me she retired

before I've had babies. She's the bestest and I know from personal firsthand experience!
