Usually they live on the kitchen counter and on top of the computer desk, which Ben cleared off for me on Saturday morning.
I asked him to put anything he didn't know what to do with in a laundry basket for me to put away when I got the chance.
Here is the conversation that took place:
Anita: "Ben, have you seen the stapler anywhere?"
Ben: "Nope."
Anita: "It's always on top of the computer. Are you sure you didn't put it in the laundry basket?"
Ben: "Yep. I haven't seen it."
Anita quickly checks the laundry basket to make sure and doesn't see it on top.
Anita: "This is so weird! I always keep it there so Connor can't grab it."
And then yet another conversation:
Anita: "Ben, did you see the thermometer when you cleaned off the counter?"
Ben: "Nope."
Meanwhile, Anita is dumping out and going through the basket on the kitchen counter where the thermometer usually lives.
Anita: "Crud, Connor must have walked off with it. I can't find it anywhere!"
Enter Monday morning. I'm doing laundry and getting around to putting away all the stuff that ended up in the laundry basket.
Can you guess what I found?
Thanks right, Sherlock. Don't quit your day job...

Too Funny!!!! I am the "finder of all things missing" at my house. Usually it's some piece of mail that's been in my way, getting wet on the counter, for a month. When I move it, it's suddenly a prized and irreplaceable document!
