I will admit…every once in a while, I think to myself:
“Damn. I really do act/think/talk like my mom sometimes.”
But what my dad told me today took me completely by surprise, in the best way possible 😂

We were talking about HRT, my sense of smell getting better and me being able to smell all the people in public, lol.

The subject of the conversation somehow shifted to mom… (for context, my parents don’t live together anymore, haven’t for 10 years now)
And dad just dropped this on me:
“You know, when me and her used to live together, she was really big on smelling me. She used to sniff my ears all the time, for some reason…”

And I was just like WHAT. That is literally what I do to my boyfriend, all the freaking time! When he comes from work, when he steps out of the shower, when I come back home…every time I’m near him, really.
Of course, I don’t really stop at his ears, but that doesn’t matter right now.

It’s such a stupid little thing, but it caught me totally off guard. I mentioned it to dad, he said something about women’s sense of smell, evolution and picking the right partner. Whatever…

After having this talk, I texted my bf (he says I’m weird for smelling him, he swears he stinks…not to me he doesn’t 😆)
I jokingly said that I was, in fact, not weird, I just took after my mother 😂

This was a surprisingly euphoric moment for me and it made me realize just how much I love guy smell. It turns out, when it’s not what I smell like (WHICH I HATED, BTW), it’s actually pretty damn attractive to me 😆

I know, this post is very silly. I’m just slowly realizing that I may take more after my mom than I previously thought…and I’m completely fine with that. Actually, I freaking love it!
Thank you so much, genetics 🩷. You’re weird sometimes, but you make me super happy 😭

Edit: The title doesn’t really make much sense. Mama’s girl as in spoiled by my mother’s genes. You’ll see in a couple of years, when fat redistribution takes effect, don’t worry 😉
