You know what I am talking about, right? When you see something out of the ordinary and you just think to yourself or maybe even mutter out loud “hmmmm”. Translation: what on earth?

After our trip to Raleigh to be with all the family for Thanksgiving (and yes – we had an amazing time), I was putting a couple of loads of laundry through the washer and dryer. When i was folding one of the loads of my clothes I found this at the bottom of the clothes basket.

.

Now if you can’t quite make out what that is, let me tell you. It is a small piece of a zipper. Probably about 2 1/2 inches in length. Gray. Just a random piece of the middle of a zipper.

Now I didn’t have anything gray in the wash. I didn’t have anything with zippers at all. I did have a couple of new tshirts I had gotten as layering shirts under things but nothing that was this color.

So where did it come from? I have a theory but I would love to read what you think. Fill me in in the comments and Comment for a Cause for Sharing House while you are at it.
