Did anyone know where my daughter left her jeans?

Apparently they were ‘there’ but now they’ve gone- I’ve been out all day and at a work dinner so only just got home... I have no idea where these rouge jeans have gone and she’s having a melt down as she NEEDS them for Xmas jumper mufti tomorrow.

So aibu to assume you moved them? If so please tell me where they are so I can go to bed and she can stop her breakdown and my neighbours can stop thinking we live in a mad house.

Has she got a sister? I’m always suspect number one when my sister misplaces clothes even now when we have deprecate homes.

TulipsInbloom1 · 13/12/2018 22:47

Is she being at all nice about asking you to help her find them? If not id say "Ive no clue where your jeans are, see you in the mornin".

I think I saw them walking down the high street earlier.
Were they blue skinny jeans, sort of mid teenage size?

I’m being really unhelpful by sitting in bed ignoring her apparently

No but if anyone finds my DHs suit jacket on a plane could you get it back to me? He lived that suit and I feel bad for him.

NeedToChangeMyLightBulb · 13/12/2018 22:48

Ohyesiam... possibly, I have no ducking clue
All jeans look the same to me

Give me a pretty dress any day

Just asked daughter to look out for the suit... I don’t think she likes me right now

Offer to lend her some of yours. That should ensure she finds them immediately........Grin

BunsOfAnarchy · 13/12/2018 22:50

Have you checked;
Behind the sofa
Under the sofa
In the washing machine
Her legs?

jessstan2 · 13/12/2018 22:51

I've got them and not giving them back, you don't know where I live, so there!

elephantoverthehill · 13/12/2018 22:52

Tumble drier, wash basket, between the bed and the wall? If these places do not result in jeans being found, give you Dd a red marker pen and she can just colour in her legs instead.

Lunde · 13/12/2018 22:53

Washing basket?
Under the bed?
In the bed?
Someone else's room?
Behind/under the sofa?
In the washing machine?
In the wardrobe (or other wardrobe)?
Hung up on a coat peg? (Dh did this once)

NeedToChangeMyLightBulb · 13/12/2018 22:54

Jesstan2.... you minx, I knew it would be one of you
Kudos for the honesty though

TrumpsToddlerTantrums · 13/12/2018 22:56

Is she wearing them right now? If not, the jeans are over there helpfully waving a vague hand in that direction. If not over there, are they over there? Or under that? Or on the bed? Or on the floor? Or exactly where she bloody left them?

Glad to be of assistance. Sleep well.

JugglingMummyof2 · 13/12/2018 23:06

Are they not easy to spot give they are redGrin?
Under the duvet would be my bet or in our house under the cat.

NeedToChangeMyLightBulb · 13/12/2018 23:06

Jeans are officially lost

Will distribute lost posters tomorrow around nearby streets and seek out a support group. Think it’s too early at this point for an inquest into events but I’ll keep you posted 🙄

SleightOfMind · 13/12/2018 23:07

Say, ‘Retrace your steps!’ and,’ Where did you last you remember having them?’
In a portentous tone, every time they come near you.

Works for me and DSil for both of our DHs, DMs&Fs, DSibs, Dfils&mils too Wink

NeedToChangeMyLightBulb · 13/12/2018 23:08

Jeans are jeans colour
I don’t speak the lingo, they’re blue

Unless they have cunningly disguised themselves or gone into some kind of witness protection

VittysCardigan · 13/12/2018 23:08

Is the cat wearing them? They love to dress up for a night out.

Has the dog eaten them?

Maybe an owl flew in and stole them

Theyprobablywill · 13/12/2018 23:09

Have you dialled 101 to get it logged?

NeedToChangeMyLightBulb · 13/12/2018 23:11

We had a stowaway mouse
Maybe it got hungry before we evicted it

SpiritedLondon · 13/12/2018 23:11

Has she taken them off and they’re now inside out? Might look a different colour ? My DD has a mufti day tomorrow too and I also have to find the Christmas jumper.....I am currently drunk on a train travelling back from a works do.
