It’s Nothing Special

(I’m chatting online with my husband, who is at work, about the chores I’m doing at home today.)

Me: “Box is outside in sun, sprayed down with purification oil and water. Hoping to de-must a bit.”

Husband: “Purification oil?”

Me: “[Friend] left me some purification oil when we were making bug spray a few months back. It’s an essential oil blend.”

Me: “It’s not some weird blessing I’m putting on the box.”

Husband: “What’s it got in it?”

Me: *after checking the bottle and coming up with no info* “Oil.”

Husband: “Essential oils of which things?”

Me: “Plants.”

Husband: “So you don’t know which ones?”

Me: “Special plants?”

Husband: “All plants are special.”

Me: “That’s just another way of saying none of them are.”
