Tonight at the dinner table, I had a tidbit of knowledge to share. Something that I was sure would come in handy. A gift to my kids.
Turning to my three boys, I proudly detailed a story that I had heard on the radio. You see, scientists studied how men smell after eating certain meals. Apparently (mind you, this is science, so don’t scoff), men who eat a diet heavy in leafy green vegetables smell better to women than men who carbo load (also, meat did not make a difference in the study, so cows, you are sorta safe). My boys looked back at me with blank stares. Humph. I just gave you a gift. A potential tie-breaker in winning your perfect mate and you look at me like an old fool? Double humph.
Fine, scoff away young lads. Someday, when you are alone eating a big bowl of pasta, you’ll wish you had listened to dad and had chosen the big salad instead. Boys, I may not know much, but I do know that this advice is al dente, you can kale on it.
