Hygiene Issues

We have a wonderful neighbor next door to us named Jean. She has lived there for a couple years now, and her mother owned the house before that, so we've known Jean for quite some time. It just occurred to me that this creates an unusually weird situation for me, though, when I see her outside.

I always yell, "Hi Jean!" when I see her. I realized today that this might seem odd to other people who live nearby who think that, for some bizarre reason, I'm standing outside yelling about "hygiene." I imagine that some people may worry that I'm directing this greeting at them, and perhaps they take a whiff under their arms just to check to be sure everything is on the up and up.
