Dirty paper towel mystery

Strange crumpled, previously wet but now dry, brown soiled paper towel. Location: Mom's corner stand behind the blue couch. Origin: unknown.

After questioning both kids, no real answers surfaced. Top idea on Caleb's mind: poop. Top idea on Morgan's mind: grease. Mom and Dad are pretty sure it's neither.

Why not poop? Doesn't smell like it.
Why not grease? Doesn't smell or look like it.
Mom's idea: illegal chocolate

We ask if they know what grease looks and smells like. Morgan pipes up, "Mommy's hair." In the reflection of the TV, Mom sees Dad slap his hand over his mouth to keep from busting up.

Object lesson: failed.
Mystery: unsolved.
Evidence: File 13.
