Your soap smells like ass

And now, for something lighter-hearted with a dose of TMI:

My mother is concerned with how I smell. Specifically, she dislikes the soap I use. Mother, I don't buy my shower gels because I think you will like them; I buy them because *I* like them, or at least can tolerate them, and because they're inexpensive. I will admit that some of my T-shirts could use some freshening, and I have looked into making sachets to help in that department, but in general I do not smell better or worse than the average person. In fact, she usually compliments me on how nicely my hair smells.

Tonight, my mother comes upstairs and we proceed to have this conversation:
Mom: *sniffing* What kind of soap do you use?!
Me: Why don't you just go in my bathroom and look?
She then goes into how it doesn't smell good to her, and I say I don't really care, and then she realizes something:
Mom: Did you just poop?
Me: Uh...not just now, but recently.
Mom: Oh, no wonder!
...Yes. Apparently any smell emanating from my bathroom automatically is assumed to be my soap. Even when one's olfactory glands would suggest differently.

mom, family, tmi
