Unfiltered Story #363443

My sister-in-law has come over to visit my two month old son. We are in the Kitchen and I’m preparing some lunch for when we go out. She sees a cup on the window sill and picks it up.

Sister: *sniffing* Mmmmm…I do love the smell of coffee.

Me: Actually, that’s rosemary. I read that you can grow herbs in your kitchen using coffee mugs, so I thought I’d give it a try before committing.

Sister: Oh, I guess that makes sense. It did look a bit dry and green for coffee.

Me: Does it smell like coffee though?

Sister: No, but I just pretend to sound smart. I probably sounded more delusional.

Me: Just a tad.

Now whenever she comes over, she always smells every cup I give her and inspects it thoroughly, despite my herb project being quite clearly labelled and still on the window sill.
