Just a little Saturday night reminiscing

For our Grade 8 graduation field trip, my class went to Cleveland Ohio, which is approximately like, 4 hours from here. We took a Greyhound bus and the back of the bus had 3 seats next to each other at the very back, then 2 seats facing those 3 seats. (Picturing it? Yes? Good)

My friends and I choose those seats and after we had a grand ole time in Cleveland going to the zoo, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and other places, apparently the back of the bus was the place to be. So on the way home we had a few more than 5 people in those seats.

Also at the back of the bus, right next to our little bus section, was the bathroom. Well, one classmate who will remain nameless, cough Jacob cough, decided he would relieve himself on the bus instead of waiting the 2 hours or so to get home.

IT WAS RANK.

The group of people at the back, including myself, got really obnoxious and yelled and covered our noses and complained. The bus driver tried to help by releasing some lemon scent into the air conditioning.

Let me tell you something, you put glitter on poop, it's still poop. You add lemon scent to an enclosed area that smells like poop, it becomes an enclosed area that smells like poop mixed with lemon.

Anyway, I'm just sitting in my living room and my mom has one of those automated air fresheners that goes off every 15 minutes.


Guess what the scent is?
Lemon.

I think it's so awesome how a smell can bring back a memory. I smell lemon scent (not ACTUAL lemons, though) and I'm instantly brought back to 2005 and the amazing time I had with my class.
