You Smell Like a Hotel Room

After every Family Group activity, the Chieftains discuss on how it went. They identify what worked, what didn’t, and whether the activity should be used again, or if it should be changed.

At the beginning of one debriefing, an eighth-grade girl said, “Mr. Weller, one of my youngest members said I smelled like a hotel room!”

I’ve never heard that before, so I asked, “Well, was that a good thing, or a bad thing?”

The girl thought for a moment and said, “Probably a good thing, because she said, ‘You smell pretty… like a hotel room’.”
