That Book Lady

Scene: I am cleaning up the kids' area of Bookmarks, a job which is not difficult but, like nearly everything involving kids, is never done.  I have given a book rec to a small girl, approx 4yo, who is courteous in her refusal of it; she wants to find her own new favorites.  Then...
4yo: Mom?  Hey Mom, that book lady...
<Mom freezes>
4yo: She smells nice.
Mom: <audible sigh of relief.  Clearly this is the kind of kid who could say literally anything and you just have to roll with it.>
me: Thank you.
I'll take it.  (It was my current favorite seasonal Bath & Body Works, Love and Sunshine.)
