A DIFFERENCE IN PERCEPTION

We were on the way to IKEA with Emily and Jack when Ellery said matter-of-factly to Emily, "Do you smell something awful?  If you do, it's my dress.  It stayed in the washer for a long time and didn't go in the dryer."

Backstory:  Ellery picked out her own clothes and she picked one of her favorite short-sleeved dresses.  I sniffed it and said, "Oh, this doesn't smell very good (explaining about being wet for too long), shall we put it in the wash?"

Ellery sniffed it and replied, "I think it smells wonderful!"  I want to wear it!"
