Lighthearted.

Where has my 11 month old son hidden our TV remote?
I have looked EVERYWHERE. This is coming from the same boy that put a jar of marmite in the washing machine.

Right under the sofa. Just out of reach for an adult human but apparently within the reach of a miniature one.

We once lost DD's shoes (she hid them) and had to send her to nursery in wellies for 2 days until we could go and buy some more.
They turned up a week later in DH's bedside cupboard.

My DS is only slightly older and just showed me a new special hiding place of his. Have you checked in the toilet?

Mine had been taken into the garden. It was subsequently stolen by foxes and found half a mile away in a field

lily2403 · 26/04/2019 15:37

My DS did that with house keys, still not found. We did catch him trying to put his shoes in the bin so my guess is that is where the keys went

I once opened a box of eggs and found my mobile in it. Hadn't even missed it at that point, was just looking to make breakfast!

beeyourself · 26/04/2019 18:43

Good luck - we've had two go missing, never to be found again...

LeukaeLucky · 26/04/2019 19:24

My son hid my phone in the printer. In the meantime you can Google and app to get a remote on your phone. Just type in Google play universal TV remote or your brand + TV remote and voilà.
I had to try a couple of app before finding one that worked with my TV but its worth trying

Hoggytat · 27/04/2019 08:38

Oh my snowy did you EVER feel calm when your DCs were little? ShockGrin

Oldieandgoldie · 27/04/2019 08:45

The Virgin remote has a ‘Find my remote’ sound option.
