Smell of Childhood

Posted on May 8, 2009 | No Comments

I read this question somewhere: What smell makes you think of childhood?

I can tell you that the smell of freshly cut grass, and the smell of garlic, onion and tomatoes being sautéed bring back my childhood. I grew up in a household where I was allowed to sleep all I wanted during days without school. Naturally, when I wake up, it’s already time to cook for lunch. I would wake up with the smell of something being sautéed. I love that smell, even now!

During vacations and town fiestas, I would go to the province with some relatives. I have wonderful memories of playing in the field. Thus, the smell of freshly cut grass.

How about you? What smell brings back your childhood?
