Man. Does anybody else remember that scent? Linnaea got a new doll yesterday, and its face is made out of vinyl, imbued with the scent of vanilla. As is the magical ability of scent, it took me directly back to my childhood. I must have had at least one toy that smelled the exact same way. Mmmm. Linnaea seemed to like it, too, as she immediately grabbed the doll and slobbered all over its face.

Aside: She rather resembles a showy lady’s slipper, doesn’t she?
