It’s amazing how many things I have lost, bought a replacement, and subsequently found the original. I’m talking mostly tools maybe even whole computers. Take this solder sucker that I recently bought for example – I could not find my tried and true heavy duty one. 
Now that I have received this new plastic one, my old one should show up any minute. But even so, what I want to know is how the kids managed to hide my stuff for so long in the first place, and then how they knew when I’ve bought replacements. To be honest, there were some things I cared more about than others and sometimes stuff like computers were in pieces – I believe they were too young to realize I still wanted them. I mean, that I wanted the computers. Wait. I also wanted the kids, but that could be another story.
