I remember when I was a kid and smelled lavender for the first
time. I was anticipating it because I'd read and heard how fragrant and lovely
it was. Of course, I was expecting to smell something delightful like it had
been described to me in my favorite stories. Instead, the first thought that
came across my mind was how awful it actually smelled. It was a big let down
and I couldn't understand how anyone could say that that smelled good.
