Do you ever come across someone’s abandoned property and wonder if there is a story behind it? A couple of weeks ago, I saw a pair of shoes in a parking lot and thought about why someone would just leave shoes there. Did he get a new pair? Did they get ruined? I also wonder why he didn’t give them to someone in need.

Then I saw this gem today–a familiar object at one time. I thought of the mother and the child who abandoned it. I guess the two second rule doesn’t count when it’s obviously not a clean pacifier.

Is there now a baby somewhere crying for her paci or just a mom who is glad she now doesn’t have to wean the baby from a pacifier? What do you think the story is?
