Lol how funny!! I guess I am lucky as my sense of smell is quite poor which is a blessing as a nurse lol. I couldn't cope with a partner with such an acute sense of smell!! You always make me chuckle Jim.

So glad it gave you a chuckle, Wendyanne. I never thought of that, but I can see why a poor sense of smell would be good for a nurse!
Comment from Ulla
Hehehe, Jim, I enjoyed this post rather much. It gave me a good chuckle and now we know where your priorities are. The last paragraph gave us that little tidbit.
Why some find that tuna smells so badly is totally beyond me.
I enjoyed reading this. Ulla:)))

I know, right? Now, some fish can really stink, but I've never minded the smell of tuna. Glad you got a few chuckles from this.
Comment from royowen
Funny thing is my granddaughter is a super sniffer, and my elder daughter has super hearing, she could never sleep in the same groom as even an electric clock,that would bother her, she had to remove the clock from the room so she could sleep, so I've had to endure those ignominious injustices too Jim, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy. So you know whereof I speak. Definitely an affliction!

Yep, I agree,
Comment from jmdg1954
Ah Jim. I'm smiling at your post from the first line. Then I actually busted a laugh at this line- I'm kind of scared of her -
Great post to read on this rainy Sunday afternoon here in NJ.
Thanks for the superpower update...
Enjoy the Sunday.... John

Thanks, John. Glad you enjoyed it. At least it's not snowing!
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Maybe I shouldn't ask, but since you have written about the women in your life, aren't there any men, and if so what powers may they have inherited, more likely from your wife then you.

I do have a son too, but actually he resembles me more than my wife. He would never think to wash out a garbage bin. He's even more laid back than I am. His special talent is that he can wiggle his ears, which doesn't bother me a bit.
Comment from Terry Broxson
Honestly, Jim, I am very surprised you even put sex on the list. Albeit, number three. Given the proximity required to your wife's nose, it seems reasonable to assume that an extended bubble bath is necessary before any encounter...and then your daughter's hearing what might possibly be happening...the ignominy of it all. Just kidding. This is a well-written, fun piece. Terry.

Well, you're right, Terry about the sex. In my younger years, it probably would have been #1. There are actually quite a few other things before it now, such as cake, brownies, candy, a good steak.
Glad you enjoyed it!

LOL!
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this post with us. One of my sons is a supersmeller. When he was growing up, if I used hand lotion in one room, with the door closed, he would smell me putting it on. To be honest, it drove me crazy but there was nothing I could do about it. It can be problematic. I finally only used hand lotion while I was at work.

It's amazing, itsn't it? There isn't much you can do about it, like you said. A few times she has smelled gas when a burner has gone out, which perhaps has saved the kitchen from exploding, but that's been the only benefit of being a supersmeller.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
That image - that's priceless!
It's no surprise that she also has a keen sense of smell, as smell and taste go together.
Jim, you are hysterical. I laughed out loud through this, as I often have with your witty short stories about your family life (overly exaggerated, I'm sure!).
Much enjoyed, Jim. Thanks for the share, and thank your wife for being such a good sport!

Thanks so much, Pam for your great review and the 6 stars too. Maybe just slightly exaggerated. Yeah, she's a pretty good sport to have put up with me for 50 years now.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is a cute story about your daughter and wife's superpowers. I get the gist of what they have over you. They hang love and favors over you so that you will do as they wish.
That is clever of them but as you say this is not that unusual in families.
Thanks for the laughs.

You've got it, Jesse. It's that coy "Please!!" that gets me every time. I put up a good fight, but they usually win me over in the end.

It couldn't happen to a nicer person, my friend. Jim, we all fall prey to women's wiles.
Enjoy the surrender.

I agree with you that women have a keen sense of smell, and it seems you appreciate it in your humorous way Jim. Your post is entertaining and endearing and you made me smile. I loved your sense of fun here Jim, a pleasure to read, love Dolly x

Yes, her ability does come in handy once in a while. She's always the first to smell gas when a burner goes out. We celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, so we've gotten along pretty well together over the years.
Thanks for your nice comments, Dolly.
