"The Aroma of Romance"

There is nothing more profound and deep than the knowledge of middle school students.  So as two middle school boys were discussing their girlfriends I listened intently, you know to try and pick up some tips on how to treat that special someone.  First problem to ponder was how do you really know she is your girlfriend?  Well I know for me it was while we were playing, The Game of Life.  You know with those little cars that you drove around on the game board.  There was a space where you had to take a wife and you put those little plastic figures in the car.  When I landed on that square and started to put my little plastic wife in the car Terri spoke up and said don’t you put me in the back seat.  I thought, “Oh yeah!”  Knowing that I was born in the dark ages and middle schoolers are much more “With it” now, I was open to new ideas.  He was sure she was his girlfriend because he had offered her his sweatshirt and she had accepted it.  “Well are you ever going to get it back?” his friend asked.  “It’s like this,” Mr. Sophisticated said.  “She’ll wear it until it loses my scent.”  Now thinking back on middle school and in particular middle school boys I don’t see why a young lady would even start to wear a middle school boy’s sweatshirt until it lost his stench, I mean scent.  Have you ever heard of a cologne called “Middle School Boy”?
