Objects as Time Machines

Growing up my mom only bought Ivory soap.  She was either sponsored by Ivory or Madison Ave. did one heck of a job because this was all we used in the house for the 18 years she lived there.  

Visiting her this weekend in another state I felt like I was 11 this morning when I took my shower.  Freaked out.  The white THX1138 bar smelled and felt exactly the same.  

I’m an Irish Springs guy.  Probably cuz of those white ropey sweater ads that aired when I was growing up. When I get home I’m going to slice off some soap with my pocket knife.
