I am at some type of exhibition where tables are set up for others to peruse. I am in charge of several tables and I need to make sure that there are no spelling or punctuation errors on the displays. The displays all look the same – they resemble a giant division symbol used in math with some writing on them on a white background. They are very boring and it’s unclear what they are supposed to represent. Maybe because I find these displays boring, I start looking out the window instead of paying attention to setting things up. I spot three kids walking on the side of the road along the curve close to where my house used to be. There’s quite a lot of snow outside so two of the kids are dressed in snowsuits. The third kid has a snowsuit hanging off of her that she is limply holding up. As the kids walk by I can see them from a different angle. They are now facing away from me. Now I can see that the kid holding up her snowsuit is doing so because she has pooped herself and does not want the snowsuit to brush up against her. Therefore, her bottom is bare and very messy. I assume that they are trudging home so she can clean up. The three kids turn into my old driveway, but it is understood that I no longer live there. A fourth child is playing in the front yard at the house. She sees what is going on and starts miming to the girl with the messy bottom that she should sit in the snow and wiggle around to clean herself off. The little girl sits her bare bottom in the snow, moves around a bit, and content that her bottom is now clean, she pulls her snowsuit back on and runs off to play with her friends leaving a messy brown patch of snow behind.
