She has her own Yarn Relocation Program, and if I dare to leave out a ball of yarn or a mitten or a pair of rolled up socks, it gets moved. Once she even tried to relocate our rolling clothes hamper. She was pulling it out of our bedroom into the hallway when I caught her. Very strong teeth, that one. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jen in KS´s last blog post..<a href="http://scrapdash.blogspot.com/2009/02/eat-your-heart-out.html" rel="nofollow">Eat your heart out</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> We don’t have children, but our cat loves to carry things around in her mouth.

It's usually their stuff. They bring it in the house, dump it and then days later wonder where their (fill in the blank) is. They expect me to know. My reply is usually something like, "I didn't use it." or "It's not mine so I don't have to track it's whereabouts." The one thing that happens on a very regular basis is that clothes get left at someone's house following an overnight stay and I can't tell you how many times I've laundered clothes that don't belong to anyone in my house. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Nancy´s last blog post..<a href="http://3blondesandthelaw.blogspot.com/2009/02/right-start.html" rel="nofollow">The Right Start</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> With the two teenage girls that reside in my house, a lot goes missing.

I remember the funky milk sippy cups hidden all over the house. I would open them the same way, Jill! The worst thing that was lost was when my youngest went through the throwing-everything-in-the-trash stage (so helpful!) was my DH's good watch. It cost around $80. That was the only explanation we could come up with for its disappearance. Ahhh, the memories! I remember the funky milk sippy cups hidden all over the house. I would open them the same way, Jill!

I'm horrible about losing things all on my own; when I get 'in the zone' (about anything), I focus only on what my mind is on and can put things down in odd places. I can't imagine how frustrated I'd get if I didn't know whether it really was me setting something down or my kid intentionally hiding it! <abbr><em><abbr><em>Sally Parrott Ashbrook´s last blog post..<a href="http://aprovechar.danandsally.com/?p=638" rel="nofollow">Step Four in the Year of Self-Care: Offer Yourself Empathy</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Oh my goodness.

This is exactly our house. We have a two year old and she routinely hides items (always that belong to other people) under a free standing china hutch. Whenever we can't find something we look there. Although she has become quite fond of flushing items down the toilet lately--including pulling the toilet paper from the wall and stringing it directly down into the water then---FLUSH! again and again, until Mommy realizes what is going on. Clara S. posted a funny one about the milk sippy cups--yuck, when I find one of those my hand reaches out slowly and I'm thinking, do I really want to open this? With much trepidation I stand over the kitchen sink and slowly twist the lid off like it's going to explode. Oh my my. This is exactly our house.

Let me tell you, it's a sight to see your brother strapped down on the bed, with your mom taking tweezers to his nose!!! He didn't hide things in his nose after that. one time my little brother decided to *hide* the eraser on a mechanical pencil from me and my older brother.
