I smelled the empty one summer when I was going to the school for bassoon lessons. I like the image of the school as a living, breathing organism.Freethehumanbeingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413434884108842434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986819666451615261.post-8944684827697668202009-09-20T15:26:43.270-05:002009-09-20T15:26:43.270-05:00I love that elementary school smell.

What DOES make those schools smell that way? If you've ever been inside a school during the summer when the kids are away... there is a smell there too. It's almost like....the smell of the empty. Anyway, when I first read this, I thought, it has to be the kids.But after thinking about the way a school smells during the summer...and about 2 weeks before school starts....I don't know. Maybe the school is a living, breathing organism. <br /><br />LLLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518669534607195201noreply@blogger.com
