It must be spring!

A family of moles awakens from hibernation. The father mole pokes his head out of the hole & says, “I smell tulips, it must be spring.”

The mother mole pokes her head out of the hole & says, “I smell cherry blossoms it must be spring.”

The baby mole is trying to squeeze out of the hole between his parents but gets stuck & says, “All I smell is molasses.”
