Confession: There is a great mystery of parenting that is presently eluding me... can you help?
This is what my floor looks like. A (relatively) clean section of hardwood floor from my dining room.
This is the same exact piece of floor give or take an inch or two) five minutes later. Note the debris. The tiny pieces of paper. The crumbs.
This occurs after my kids walk by. Just walk by. Empty handed. That's it.
Look.... here's another example...
The rug. Yes, it is dirty, but that's how it always looks. The important thing to note is that it was just vacuumed. Now, here it is just seconds after my 3 little tornadoes came running in from another room- presumably one that they just messed up as well.
That is the same floor. Unretouched. A minute later. For real. Note that is a Barbie shoe, a tiny water bottle from some random game, dirt, paper, and what appears to be straw, because apparently, we live in a barn.
Can anyone, ANYONE, explain this phenomenon to me? I am convinced that my kids poop out trash. Little pieces of trash and debris just shoot out of their butts at will as they walk down the hall.
Is there any other explanation?

as I was reading, I thought: "Clearly it shoots out of their butts" and then you wrote it.
LMAO!!
See? Destined to be partners!
instead of shedding dead skin, they shed garbage and debris. and sometimes small pieces of food.
That explains ALOT!
My parents' dog always used to love it when I brought him over my best friend's house, because he could always find something good to eat off the floor! (*3 kids under age 14 live in that household).
And btw, before I even got down to your labeling of it, I thought that was a Barbie shoe!
My mother always said (actually still says) I "leave a trail" ... so this phenomenon you have captured confirms what I have been hearing for years. (My mom would be so proud of you, for coming through with the forensics :) )
