Fishy events…
Strange things were happening in my house. The things went missing never to be seen again. A Tupperware lid, the building blocks and small cloth items. Things turned ugly, when my old mobile went missing from the bedside drawer. All hell broke loose and so was launched ‘Mission Treasure Hunt’ in the household.
All the cabinets, drawers were shuffled. Baby M’s toys were thoroughly searched. Under the table, behind the bed, all the balconies – everything was part of the scrutiny. But, to no avail! Weeks passed and the search was abandoned.
Last week, guests were visiting and I went on a cleaning spree. The house was spic and span. All the corners shining and even the vases were in queue to be cleaned. That’s when the unexpected happen. All the lost items cam out of the flower vase one by one.
Soon, we realized what had happened. Baby M has been playfully putting everything he likes in the vase. Once sent down the vase, he could not retrieve it and hence, it was forgotten and lost! Finally the thief was caught and all fishy events came to an end. 🙂
Did your child also have a secret hideout place? What was it? I would love to hear cute anecdotes of your lives in comments.
This is the sixth post in the series #AtoZChallenge. You can read my last post here.

One of my children had the habit of taking items that belonged to someone else and hiding them under the bed or the pillow. The child’s response when asked if they knew where it was “The Monkey ate it”. We still use that phrase whenever something goes missing at our house.

Well, that’s the real scenario in my household nowadays, everything is taken away by a Bee! 😀
Glad that you dropped by.

Such a cute post and I could relate to it. My little one hides things behind curtains and sofas. The good part is she has a great memory and she would remember where she has hidden it. So if you ask her for things you cant find and she has anything to do with it, she honestly admits.

My Kids, are grown now… but 🙂
My eldest daughter used to hide gum wrappers between the headboard and the wall… When finally discovered she informed me they were for her “Projects” I never got a specific project out of her. They were moved to a ziplock bag though to avoid pests 🙂
