"Where's the fun in it, if he doesn't know?" Tailm asked. "I'll take the perfume."
That night while her lying cheating boyfriend was watching the game, Tailm, carefully wearing gloves and a surgical mask opened his gym bag. She opened his deodorant stick, and began to liberally inject it with the baby girl perfume. She knew that Adim always slathered on the deodorant after showering after a hard workout. She planned to be at the gym too. While Adim was working out, Tailm would go to the thrift shop to purchase a baby carrier and some other necessities.
It went just as planned. She showed up at the gym, while her boyfriend was slathering on the deodorant, and asked the desk attendant if he had seen her baby. Tailm explained that her boyfriend had been watching her little girl. So maybe he had her in the locker room.
Adim raised his arm and sniffed his armpit. Then he sniffed his deodorant. It must have gone bad, it smelled all flowery. He felt dizzy, his towel dropped from his waist. He put the lid back on the deodorant stick and set it on the bench as he steadied himself.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" he screamed. He was naked, helpless and unable to speak, and he felt unnaturally lighter between his thighs. He struggled with his weak neck. He could see the torso of a baby, but he couldn't see his wee-wee.
Suddenly, the attendant appeared.
"Land o'goshen! That girl's boyfriend just left that baby here on the locker room floor. He must be a total jerk," the attendant said scooping up the baby in Adim's damp towel and carrying her out of the locker room to her waiting mother.
