Conflicting scientific theories

[SisyphusDad]

Could you assess the following scientific theories and decide which is more likely to be correct?

Theory 1: Douglas Adams was way ahead of his time. There are indeed wormholes in space through which dirty dishes slip from my DCs' bedrooms to a planet where they can enjoy a uniquely dishoid lifestyle, responding to highly dish-oriented stimuli and generally leading the dirty dish equivalent of the good life. They only return from their holiday when a SWAT Team descends on the DC's bedroom with a search warrant.

Theory 2: All children have a gene that renders them unable to see the elephant I've asked them about, even when standing next to said elephant. I suspect that this gene may be disabled for some of them when they leave home but have no proof as yet.

Please respond:
(a) YABU. Your DCs are clearly scientific genii and will shortly be replacing Brian Cox on the BBC;
(b) YANBU. The overwhelming weight of statistical evidence is on your side.
Unfortunately there is no option (c): You've clearly had too much wine. Go and have some more.

There is a sock wormhole in this house. I swear it's got my secateurs and one of my flip-flops as well.

Voted A.

Purely because the alternate dimension populated by inanimate objects, such as the aforementioned dishes and socks (see also pencils, keys, reading glasses etc) is a valid and popular theory.

Science will catch up at some point and the portals through which they travel* will be found, proving their existence and therefore the existence of alternate dimensions once and for all.

We may even eventually have the technology to send brave expeditionary teams through, who will later be hailed as heroes for returning laden with our lost objects - oh, happy future day!

You are v.funny OP, wine is good.
