Challenge!
Can you guess what these 3 things have in common [mitsu no kyoutsuu ten]? Think!

Clues:
The frog is from a pharmacy/drugstore in Kirio shopping centre.
The orange is from a bar-restaurant in Gifu.
The little ceramic dog is from a shop in Tokoname.

If you think you know, please write your idea in the `comments` section below! I`ll tell you the answer soon...

*** ANSWER ***

All these things were free give-aways:
The lady in the pharmacy gave the frog to Owen when we bought something.
A customer gave a bag of oranges to the master of the restaurant, & he gave one to me.
When I bought something at a shop in Tokoname, the owner gave Owen the dog.

Thanks everyone for your interesting ideas. Some of you were close, but only my mum got the correct answer. Well done, mum!

First guess:  they are all small.  
Second guess:  they were "give-aways"  
Third guess:  Owen chose them all
Fourth guess:  Miyo chose them  
Fifth guess:  Blogmaster Otto chose them to put in the bird box he made.

And Otto`s mum comes out swinging, with not one, but FIVE guesses! But are any of them correct...? 
Sorry mum, you`ll have to wait a few days to find out (and buttering me up by referring to me as Blogmaster Otto will get you no preferential treatment by the way).

Hello!  I write comment for the first time.
I guess all these are the same size.

Well, you`re 2/3rds correct - the dog & frog are a similar size, but the orange is normal size. 
Sorry, that`s not it!

My guess is that they are Owen's favorite objects at the moment.  :D

They have a letter, 'g'.
They have a letter, 'o'.
Their shape are round or plump.
They have a white part.
They are from some shop.
Their last sound are G-sound.
Ah, I can't think any more!

There is one more my answer.
They are the color of Irish national flag that is green, white and orange. Green is the frog, white is the little ceramic dog and orange is the orange.
Is it no good?

That`s a good guess. Actually, the frog & dog were given to Owen by shop staff, but not the orange...
