The Case of the Missing Remote

One day our TV remote mysteriously disappeared from the living room. Of course [for Jared] this was a travesty. We turned the living room upside down, looked in every nook and cranny, and still no sign of it. We both swore we saw it sitting right on the ottoman 10 minutes before. Confused, we finally gave up and brought out the remote from our bedroom. They're both Comcast remotes so they work interchangeably.

A couple days went by...still no remote.

Finally one afternoon, Jared was out in the living room watching TV. Emmett was buzzing around, getting into the DVD cabinets as usual. Then it happened.

Jared saw Emmett come over and take the remote (the 2nd one), and head back toward to the TV stand with it. Determined not to lose our last and only remote, Jared kept his eyes on him. He saw Emmett lean his arm as far as he could into the TV stand.... and strategically slide the remote behind the xbox.


Note: I attempted to recreate this for a picture, so it's a toy instead of the remote


A couple minutes later, Jared needed the remote so he got up and pulled the xbox forward, where he found not one, but TWO remotes!

Apparently we found the little mans secret hiding place.

Now I know where to look when my keys go missing again...
