Guacamole

"Why do you smell just like guacamole?"

The kid I was babysitting asked this

I thought about what this question could mean

so that my answer would not be remiss.

What does guacamole even smell like?

Perhaps he just meant I smelled fresh and green.

While I don't think I smelled exactly ripe

I needed to bathe and was not so clean. 

I had been watching kids for the whole day,

so it's true that I may have been sweating.

To answer his question what could I say

that I would not be later regretting?

I told him the truth: I needed a bath,

but still didn't know what I had been asked.
