謎のSomething Brown. . .

その時は他の事に夢中で、うわの空で聞いていた事を後で思い出して、想像もしていなかった事が頭の中で一気に明らかになる時がありませんか？

先日、知り合いのマーケットに寄って、お店の入り口でお喋りにふけっていると…次男君が、「ママ、そこに犬の糞が落ちてるから、踏まないよう に気をつけて」と囁いて走り去り、追いかけっこに戻って行きました。車から飼い犬と降りて、ドッグビーチに向かう人達、犬のお散歩で通り過ぎる近所の人達、 お店の前に立っているとよく見かける日常の風景。

日陰を求め、場所をちょっと移動してふっと下を見た瞬間、又々犬の糞が…。
追いかけっこで通り過ぎる次男くんが、ボソリと溢した言葉．．．「ここにも犬の糞…でも人間のものにも見えなくないな〜。例えば、僕の弟のとか．．．（ニヤッ）」。

その時は、お喋りに夢中で聞き流していましたが、今思い出してみると、あれはやっぱりうちの末っ子くんのが、水着の隙間から落ちたものに違いない…と思う2日後の今日．．．（苦笑)

トイレトレーニング中の末っ子くん。 おしっこは殆どマスターしたのだけど、＂大＂の方がまだでして…、ヒヤヒヤしながらビーチへ水着でお出かけしていた際の出来事でした。

Things that you paid no attention at that time came back in your mind a few days later, and the pieces of the information fit in the blanks just like puzzle pieces. 
And then,  all of the sudden it started to make sense. . . Have you ever experienced something like this before?

Before heading to the beach the other day, we stopped by at my friends' market for a catch up.  I was busy chatting in front of the market while my boys were playing tags nearby. 

My middle boy said, "Mama, watch out the dog poop!" pointing at something brown on the ground right in front of the market as he was running by.   There are many peoples come to the Dog Beach near by with their cars parked by the Market, and head to the beach.  I see the neighbors walking their dogs to the store all the time. So, I didn't think anything of it.

After a while, my friends and I moved to under the shade as the sun was getting too hot. 

My middle son  passed by and said to himself,

"Here is another one!  It could be a human poop""The more I look at it, it surely looks like a human poop. . .  like from my little brother".

Now I think about it, it could possibly be my youngest son's.
He is in the middle of potty training.  He's mastered going #1, not #2 quite yet.

He must have done it in his swimming shorts and the little pebbles of poops must have dropped through the cracks.
