Went back to work last Monday and have clearly forgotten a little bit about etiquette and acceptable comments in the workplace. I walked out for lunch with a colleague and, as we stood chatting on the corner of a busy road, we both became aware of a horrible smell. We both ignored it for a few minutes until he said: "Oh, what's that smell?" To which I replied: "It wasn't me!" To which he said, rather embarrassed and very serious: "I didn't for a minute think it was!" Now cringing that I said that!! The old me never would have said that/acknowleged the smell but motherhood has clearly made me more relaxed about such issues.
