The air freshener has directions for use.
Printed right on the can.
Hold can upright, pull trigger back and spray the air in a sweeping motion throughout the entire room.
It doesn’t say…
…”point nozzle away from face.”
It should.
People who need directions for operating air freshener…
…will need that detail.
Otherwise they’ll wind up in the doctor’s office.
“Help me, Doc! Every time I spray air freshener my eyeballs burn.”
However…
…There are more instructions on the can.
For a noticeably fresh home, spray all the rooms in your home.
This is actually written on the container.
The manufacturer doesn’t seem to have much confidence in our reasoning skills.
“This room still smells like the basement.”
“Well, keep spraying.
“Should I spray the basement?”
“No! The stink is in here! Keep spraying!
It’s a perfect illustration for what’s wrong with your relationship.
There are lots of reasons a room might stink.
Spraying air freshener ‘in a sweeping motion throughout the entire room’…
…doesn’t fix the stink source.
If you want to permanently freshen a room…
…you need to mop the dog puke off the carpet…
…empty the cat litter box…
…flush the toilet.
There are lots of reasons a relationship stinks.
Spraying criticism or complaints ‘in a sweeping motion throughout the entire room’…
…actually makes the stink worse.
To permanently freshen a relationship…
…clean up your own room.
Get rid of your stinky stuff.
You can’t freshen your spouse.
Trying is just going to make their eyeballs burn.

I see and Mr. Smiley will be in my neck of the woods on the 19th. I’d come see you but that is a performance night for me as well in a community theatre. Maybe next time. I would to see you live!
Have a great week!
