We found something unusual in our bathroom today, and at first, it really startled us. My husband carefully picked it up with tissue while we tried to figure out what it could be. We honestly stared at it for a while, completely confused.

Has anyone else ever come across something like this? If you know what it might be, let us know in the comments.
