Parrothead Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 MUS Zeta test book and you were not in your place on the shelf where would you be? You are also not found anywhere on the book case, under the furniture in the living room or in the refrigerator or oven. You were seen floating around the house for a couple of days this weekend but no one remembers exactly where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 IN the closet under the bin of stuff that hasn't been touched since we moved in here 11 years ago. Except that my kid that would do that is only in Gamma, not Zeta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've sent dd to look in the closet. Nope, not in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Piaaree Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If I were a Zeta test booklet, I might be hiding behind someone's dresser or nightstand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I would be under a stack of printer paper that Ds is drawing on...despite that fact that I have bought him lap desks, cleared a spot on his desk for him, and given him clip boards to use for his work surface! That is where I would be if I were that book! Although, given the state of flies and fruit flies in this house, it is also possible that I would have been used by dh to exterminate little flies with extreme prejudice and be laying in some odd spot with fly parts all over my skin.

Once again I have sent her off to look. I'm starting to think this is why I have a bit of extra this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith Dd insists on using the arm of the chair. I even posted a photo on the school blog. I'm even willing to bet that is one of the math books she is working on in the photo.

bettyandbob Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I once found a Wordly Wise between the mattress and boxsprings of my dd's bed. She swore she had no idea how it got there, well hidden and unavailable for assignments. How painful is the subject in your house. The answer may result in the need to expand your search.

Giraffe Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Dropped behind the couch (or easy chair)? Under/behind/between the cushions? Under YOUR bed? (Since you wouldn't think to look there...) Behind the headboard of DD's bed? Or sibling's? In the car? The garage? Just a few possibilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Probably on the floor between my bed and the nightstand. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well in this household I'd be wherever DD2 had taken me.. maybe to the bathroom, or to her bed, or to visit the cat.. But in your house (with 1 dc?)???? Maybe I am under the sofa cushion? Or somewhere I was taken when on a mission to do something else (use the bathroom, put something away, fetch something for Mom...?) Back to this household.. I'd be given up on and replaced in short order, and my user would start over from the beginning. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few possibilities? looked my bed is on the floor for the time being no headboard I can't imagine how but will look when it is daylight outside. If it is in the garage, I'm afraid it is in the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a sore subject here. Not with great enthusiasm, but no tears. I'd expect Homer to go missing in that manner before the math book.

And since I need portfolio items the last 8 tests will have to be re-done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Did you do laundry this weekend? Did DD help? If so, start checking all the hampers, laundry baskets, and drawers. I'm not kidding - I've misplaced books this way before! You might even want to check the dryer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Inside another book. I do this to myself at least once a month. It's now the first place I look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It sounds nuts but it can happen. I'm carrying the book, pick up the clothes in the hamper, book falls into hamper, I get distracted by [cat, dog, pretty sparkly thing on shirt, whatever] and go on my merry way, forgetting book is in bottom of hamper. I remember being 11. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Aye, I'll be ordering a new one if this one isn't found within 24 hours. And since I need portfolio items the last 8 tests will have to be re-done. Articulating that last little bit of info might just cause it to mysteriously turn up. ;) Edited November 2, 2010 by Mejane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 When I asked this question a few weeks ago, the answer was the recycling pile. Other places I looked: Infrequently used book shelves. As pp said, inside another book (I found the teachers manual there.) Behind and under the couch and other chair cushions. Pushed to the back of a shelf. In the literature sorter we use to store school books. Behind the piano. Hope you find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 In the kitchen cupboards or on top of the fridge. I don't know why, but this week I've been walking into the kitchen and absent mindedly putting items away that are not actually kitchen items. I've found several books, pieces of pajama sets, and dinosaurs between DS's bed and the wall recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ah, she found it. It was in the bookshelf where it belongs. The bookshelf needs cleaning out. The book in question was on its side and facing backward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
