Missing Items

This is why we can never find anything in our house that the kids have previously used.


ME: Okay, girls, listen up.  Have either of you seen the nail clippers with the white handles?  They've been missing for a few days and I'm kind of distressed about it.  They're the only ones that really work well.
JULIA: Well Mommy?  Why do those clippers have a white, EGG-LIKE handle on them like an EGG?
ME: (irritable) That's not the question we're trying to answer right now, Julia.  The question was have either of you SEEN them?
JULIA: (cheerfully) Nope.  I haven't!
ME: Have you seen them, Madeleine?
MADELEINE: (looking up from her Shopkins figurines with a dazed expression) Seen WHAT?


They're equally as helpful and clueful when it comes to actually searching for missing items.  So you can see what a win-win situation we have.
