Speechless

It's hard to stay mute , especially if you possess a big mouth OR an older brother bent on thwarting your efforts. My brother had both. Today, he started on a project that required him to experience how a mute person feels when he's... well, mute. The duration: 4 hours.

Not wanting it to look bad on his record, he started again after his first try was deemed imperfect due to his absent minded utterance of the words, "Where is Dad?".

All was going well in take 2 until dinner, when he spotted an object in his dory fish fillet that, as most dory fish fillet eaters would know, shouldn't be there.

"Bone!" he exclaimed.

I laughed out loud.

Just one word! Forget a perfect record, he wasn't going to start all over again!

He slouched.

I told a joke.

He laughed. Spilled water on his T-shirt.

"You made me spill!" he uttered.

He hopes to try again tomorrow. The object wasn't even a bone.

Try finding the dark blue dot.

Use whatever way you can think of.
Can you find it?
