What "breeds" in your house, and what disappears?

In ours:

Breeds: socks. DH, DS, and now DD (4mths) seem incapable of keeping them on, and they get shed all over the house.

Disappears: Teaspoons and nail clippers. Loads of them!

Not sure of things that breed but things that disappear would be
The other sock in a pair
Nail clippers
and most of all lip balm. Last one found in the washing machine after a 60 deg wash!

Agree with tortoise re single socks. I wondered to myself the other day - "How is it possible to have TWENTY NINE odd socks? I only have two children..."
