## How did the instance happen?

### In the prepartion of a swimming race...

Before the race, when the announcer checks that all the participating children in their swimsuits and are on the waters of the starting point and before the announcer can check one more time and start the race, Little Baby Clay, who is always in his white swaddle and is always in an adorable mood, mysteriously, magically hovers from 'nowhere' and gently glides into the water of an empty lane in the pool without anyone, including the announcer and the participating children, noticing him.

When the announcer first checks the starting point of the race, there are only the participating children in their competitive moods there. But when the announcer checks the starting point of the race again, there are the *same* participating children, still in their competitive moods, but also the "participating" Little Baby Clay who is in his white swaddle and in an adorable mood instead of a swimsuit and a competitive mood.

### During the race

The swimming race is ready to begin when everyone, including Muck 1 and Muck 2, are ready.

After the announcer says "On your marks... Get set... Go!" and the starting pistol is fired, the race begins. All the child competitors dive in and begin swimming in the race, except Little Baby Clay who is still at the starting point of the race and does something adorably cute instead of swimming.

Little Baby Clay is the only one who remains at the starting point and, whilst staying there, faffs about in the water by doing adorable movements. He makes tiny splashes with his cute movements, by bouncing and swinging his swaddled body, and jitterbugs adorably, and making cute squeals and baby noises. Instead of watching the children swim in the race, everyone, including Muck 1 and Muck 2, watch Little Baby Clay. They refuse to laugh at him (because Little Baby Clay is too cute to be laughed at) and they cannot resist Little Baby Clay's cuteness. One young lady, looking at Little Baby Clay, says "I can't believe I nearly died from all his cuteness!"

After a couple of seconds, Little Baby Clay then silently leaps out from the pool and into the arms of his parents, Muck 1 and Muck 2, who think that Little Baby Clay deserves either an extremely adorable feed or just a cute cuddle. After Little Baby Clay says "Kuumi fappi menno paa?", Muck 1 and Muck 2 then does one of the 2 following things:

1. Muck 2 takes out a baby-bottle of either milk or baby-feed and then gives Little Baby Clay an extremely adorable feed. Right after the feed, Little Baby Clay says "Kuumi fappi menno paa? Menno paa!" and adorably jitters. Muck 2 gently pats Little Baby Clay's back to make Little Baby Clay burp. (Which sounded like a squeak.) Muck 1 and Muck 2 then give Little Baby Clay a very cute cuddle.
2. Muck 1 and Muck 2 just give Little Baby Clay a very cute cuddle.

The instance of Little Baby Clay does not interrupt the event as everyone else, except Muck 1 and Muck 2 who are adorably cuddling their baby son, goes back to watching the children in the race. When the race is over, everyone, except Muck 1, Muck 2 and Little Baby Clay, run up to congratulate the winning child.

## Swaddle details
