The Sound of Silence (which never happens here), The Smell of Thunder

This afternoon as we emerged from the minivan to gray skies, I said to Cody, "Do you know what that smell is?"

Cody: Yes I do. [pause] What is it?

Me: That's the smell of rain!

Cody: Does rain have a smell?

Me: Yes! Sniff! [We do.] THAT is the smell of rain.

Cody: Does thunder have a smell?

Me: Um, I don't think so.

Cody: Yes it does have a smell. I SMELL THUNDER!

Me: You do? What does it smell like?

Cody: Sniff! [We do.] THAT is the smell of thunder.
