Mamma Used To Say "You Smelling Yourself"

Okay....  I didn't like the first time I heard my Grandmother tell me I was smelling myself...  I was thinking "Where did that come from?" She's definitely out of control, and way too old to understand what's she's talking about.  She continued to explain of course, by stating  that "I had sex, and was starting to smell myself.... walking all crazy, and talking like I think I know something.."  I did just commit the act... of course, thinking she couldn't possibly have any idea that I did...  I mean I was 17 now, and dramatically sharper, wiser, smarter, and more aware of what life was about!  NOT!  Notice I'm using the GREEN to emphasize the GREEN behind the ears, speaker!!! While, using the PURPLE to express and emphasize the wisdom, and maturity in my Grandmother's voice, and actions. 

The saying "Smelling yourself" definitely suggested I was starting to think I knew more than my grandmother, and believing that I was an adult.  Which of course was impossible, considering I didn't have any responsibilities other than attending high school, and actually passing my classes.  Therefore completely defining myself as a CHILD desiring the ADULT title....Also thought you might find this video HILARIOUS....  


I would like to know how many of you have every heard this saying or been told this before????  Respond, and tell me when you were "Smelling yourself"
