For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 29, 2012

And then mysteriously reappears in a closet or cabinet where it has no business being! LOL

Behind the fridge

And when you buy a replacement and go to put it away, there’s the original right where it was supposed to be,,,

I have this problem. Personally I think I have a small black hole following me about and things just fall into it. The odd thing is that a while later they reappear right under my nose.

Funny how things just grow legs and walk away and nobody knows anything about it!

I usually keep looking.I tend to forget what I was looking for in the first place.

Disappearing Object Phenomenon

Look it up. It is real.

The only objects that disappear are the ones you want to use right now

Probably in “dryer limbo” with all the missing socks!

I blame the husband! Mine did that to me! When I left my scissors were in the drawer, all shiny and practically brand new cause I take care of them. I come home and they’re on top of the stove, open, with stuff all over them. My husband says he didn’t touch them. Oh, I suppose the cats did it then! I washed them off but they won’t cut right anymore.

…this is my life.

On a different note—-brought a smile to my face as my daughter would always say ‘dist-appeared’.

Family Circus – Ida Know, Not Me

and with me, 6 months later when i desperately need something i can’t find, something i desperately needed 6 months ago and couldn’t find is now in my way///

This brings back memories. I’d look through all the drawers to find my pastry blender, scissors, scotch tape, just like Elly’s doing. When things disappeared and then reappeared I started saying The Borrowers came and took them. What other explanation was there?

I think the kids are the culprits. My mom always had to hide the scotch tape, the good scissors, and the good pens from us, or we’d carry them off, wreck them or use them up, and leave the carcasses scattered around the house.

I have a specific memory of me and my sister finding some new fine-point pens (liquid ink, not silly ballpoint!) in some really awesome colors, and appropriating them for our coloring books.Ever try to fill in a large area with a fine-point pen? If the ‘rents hadn’t found us, we probably would have used up all the ink in all the pens trying to color a single page.The rescued pens found a new home on the top shelf of a kitchen cupboard.

Yeah, and then you find them…right where YOU left them :)

Thought this would stop when there was just my son and I, but noooo, I have a sneaking suspicion that it would continue with just me,,,but that can’t be right, can it?

Panel 1 – Just the other day Ellie wondered where Liz had picked up bad words. I notice Ellie is just thinking them.

I always find them the last place I laid them down. Of course, that is also the last place I look.

We have approximately 1,000 unmatched socks around here.

Borrowers, like iced tea said.We have very active Borrowers living in our house.I just want to know what the Borrowers needed 6 soup spoons for ( I know I bought a set of 8, now there are just two)

Welcome to the real world Mom.Sox normally disaperr in the washer or dryer. Scissers in with the yard equipment, Screwdriver is being used tory the lid off the paint bucket…………

I know what happens to all those things… they morph into wire hangers.

Worse yet, one will search for something with no results.Then, when something else disappears later, a search for it will uncover the item you searched for earlier – and no longer need!
