I did a cool survey last week with my age-groupers; I asked them all to tell me what they thought about when they swim in practice, and what they think about when they swim in a meet. I got answers ranging from boyfriends/girlfriends, homework, and music.
So, I'm curious....what do all of you think about when you swim?

hehehe. that's a great (albeit random) thought!
if you'll excuse the science geek in me (i've got a degree in biochemistry), i can tell you why...
there are some sulfur-containing amino acids in asparagus that, when metabolized, turn into some really rotten smelling compounds (some of which are also in cabbage). not everyone can smell the metabolized compounds, but i guess you have the genes that allow you to smell it! lucky you ;)
So do cauliflower/brusselsprouts-one more reason my kids don't care for it.......
