ChristusG Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The girls have had a Play-Doh ice cream making set for like 3 years. They haven't touched it in probably a year. It just sits there. They play with Play-Doh but never touch the ice cream making contraption. It's awkwardly shaped and wont fit anywhere so it's been sitting on the top of our dryer for years. Also, Play-Doh gets caked inside and it is impossible to fully clean out. Well, last week I finally threw it into the trash. I hate clutter and that thing has been driving me nuts. Today, the girls are playing with Play-Doh. As soon as I hand them their Play-Doh, DD7 says, "Where is that ice cream maker? I just saw it on the dryer last week." :glare: Seriously? You don't play with it for years and then some sort of 6th sense alerts you when it is no longer in the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's so funny! Maybe you can give them some other tools--garlic press, brown paper they can make small cones with, etc. I think it's in the same catagory as me throwing out some small appliance, like a juicer or something, and then somehow I "need" it suddenly!

eternalknot Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Murphy's Law! My parents used to -and still- do this with things I collect and leave around their house. Random things that eventually become a part of the landscape, and so are easier to ignore on a conscious level. Then once those things are moved, the subconscous perks up and notices it's gone and naturally then you want it back :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Ugh. YES! I can never recall specific instances when called upon like this, but I can confidently say YES! that happens here too. Amazing! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
