wittyandwaiting How do you think of all these questions? I would have ran out days ago.

1. Before you knew the truth, how did you think babies were made? I can't remember ever not knowing how babies were made. My mum was a midwife, and I think she told me very, very early on.

2. What's your favourite smell? Vanilla.

3. If someone rented a billboard for you, what would you put on it? Probably nothing. I can be an excessively private person in real life.

@ionaerebore I use them a lot at work so I keep a list of questions that I think of or gather from books or online.

1. I was sure that babies were made by French kissing but I don't remember not knowing how they were born.

2. I love vanilla and orange. Anybody familiar with The Body Shop's Satsuma scent?

3. You are awesome! Perhaps one of these:

1. Before you knew the truth, how did you think babies were made?
I want to say something kinda bitter like-- I used to think that babies were made by putting semen/sperm in a vagina either directly from a penis or via a syringe but now I know that that's only how some babies are made. If you have diminished ovarian reserve, no fallopian tubes, or other infertility concerns there is a lot, lot, lot more too it.

Really, though, I don't remember what I used to think. I remember my mom telling us how babies were made but I don't remember what I thought before that.

2. What's your favourite smell? I love the smell of onions and garlic cooking. And the smell of spring. And citrus. And cookies baking. And lilies of the valley.

3. If someone rented a billboard for you, what would you put on it?
I would probably put an advertisement for the non-profit foundation I work for. I'm not really sure.

Tough ones today!

1. I have no idea what I thought. It's possible I never thought about it?

2. I am a nose-oriented person, so I like lots of smells. (My coveted perfume list is topped by Jo Malone's Vanilla-Anise.) Possibly my favorite smell is my aunt's smell: when she hugs me I feel so safe and happy and that smell makes me feel the same way.

3. I'd take my billboard somewhere conservative and do something subtle and pro-LGBT. (Or not subtle. Free speech works both ways, right?)

1. I've known as long as I can remember. I am told that in toddlerhood I insisted that I came from the local grocery store.

2. Night blooming jasmine. Citrus flowers. Cinnamon. Pine needles. Fireplace fires. Hard to choose. I like naturally occurring scents but am not big on perfumes or air fresheners or scented candles.

3. Wow, it depends. Some kind of thought provoking/uplifting message? Or maybe an ad for an organization or cause I believe in- something about education or the environment.
