only explanation
perhaps the funniest thing about this recent submission to the reality project is that it came with no accompanying explanation:
i will now offer you the only plausible rationalization for natalie’s edgy little menagerie :
an oafish teenager, trapped in a middle-aged man’s body, was robbing a florida grocery store in search of the perfect tv dinner. witnesses say he was wearing a tan shirt bearing the image of a muskrat and holding a brown plaid umbrella, while peering at the contents of the store freezer through a paper towel roll scope. the suspect proceeded to a nearby beach-side condo to charge his phone, drink a beer, change into a green shirt, deodorize, and microwave his lunch. when the unsuspecting renters returned to the condo to reapply sunscreen and suction out their 8-month-old’s nostrils, they came face-to-face with the bandit. they put a pot of water on to boil and were discussing the best way to season thief stew when the suspect fled the scene.
typical case of arrested development.

Ha! That’s a pretty good guess. The short version is that I was a solo parent over a long weekend with a toddler during a heat wave.
The shirt actually has a camel on it (front of camel on the front of shirt, and back on back) that my parents brought back from Israel (as you do), the big green thing with the pointy end is an upside-down funnel that the Critter loves to play with, and you can see two types of bug spray and two types of sunscreen in the picture. The one thing you really missed is the pair of (clean) child’s underwear right there on the kitchen counter. It was a long 6 days without the husband!

my eyes can only see the “smutty” in the corner, and the empty beer in the other. One is quite familiar to me, the other is not at all…

Smuttynose is a brewery. The beer and the Smutty go together. See the old Bartles & James-type dudes on the side of the box? Good stuff.
