The Light Brown Flake Mystery

There are mysterious little brown things on my floor. (No, they are not Tycho the rabbit’s turds. Those are also on the floor, but they are dark brown and not mysterious – they are annoying.) The little brown things on my floor are light brown flakes.

I thought the first ones that I noticed smelled like peanut butter, but the ones I inspected today are scentless. If I were an excellent lady sleuth, I might compare the chipped spots on the floor to the flakes that are near them. However, I am too lazy to do so. Instead I will sigh.
