Mr. Ballin

It was like a cross between chemicals and maybe paint. And so at first, Umar and Samira just walked around their apartment, predominantly in the kitchen, looking for things that could be leaking in the fridge or in cupboards or whatever, but they couldn't find anything that seemed like it could be the cause of the smell.

And it was around this point when they were totally stumped that Umar and Samira remembered that their apartment building was extremely well taken care of. Like repairs were done immediately and all the time in every single unit. And the fact that they had been away in Ohio had been known to their apartment manager.

And so they thought, you know, maybe while they were gone, maybe somebody had come in here and maybe touched up some paint or made some repairs or something, even though it seemed a bit weird that they hadn't been informed beforehand that, you know, painting or repairs were going to take place in their apartment. But ultimately, that's what they chalked it up to.

And so it was at this point that Umar and Samira walked all around the apartment, opening up all the windows. And Samira also lit a candle as well. And pretty soon that weird smell disappeared and both the parents just kind of forgot about it. And so Umar grabbed all their luggage from their trip and began unpacking it into the drawers and putting toiletries away.

And at the same time, Samira put their baby in a high chair in the kitchen and then Samira began preparing dinner. And a few minutes later, as Umar was still putting things away, he heard Samira calling from the kitchen to, hey, come out here for a second. And so Umar stopped what he was doing.

He went into the kitchen and he looked at Samira and she was looking very concerned down at their daughter. And their daughter was in her high chair and her dinner was right in front of her, but she wasn't eating. And their daughter seemed really fussy. And normally their daughter was such a get along kid who never fussed, who always ate her food. And so this seemed really out of character.

And so both parents kind of stared at the daughter for a second. And then Umar was like, you know what? All the windows are still open and it's getting pretty hot in here. Maybe the baby's just fussy about the heat. And so Samira agreed that could totally be it.
