September 2, 2020 at 8:06 PMI listened to this episode today while driving my children to an appointment. I assumed they were in their own world in the back seat and was surprised to hear them both answer your closing question. “In closing, a short, but not so simple question for you to carry into your day, if hope had a smell, what would it be?”
My 17 year old daughter answered “Sugar Cookies” and my 15 year old son, “french fries.” I asked them to elaborate and loved the chance to have a thoughtful conversation with them. Sugar Cookies are holiday visitors, and special occasions, things she looks forward to each year. French Fries, my son said are always good, but some times they are AWESOME. Every time he gets fries he hopes they will be awesome. This spun into a question about the difference between wishes and hopes. They both agreed hope is real, and wishes are fun but not real. Thank you for this cherished chance to see into their hearts.

September 15, 2020 at 6:46 PMYes! That was also my immediate reaction to the question. Hope smells like rain in the air after a dry period. And I have now reminded myself of the word to describe that phenomenon: petrichor.
