    This always happens to me. My toddler is a total weirdo. The strangest thing I can think of recently? The $1.37 I had to scoop out of the goldfish tank...

    Then there was the half used bar of soap and an apple core in my purse this morning.

    I found a squished froggie in my dining room last night. No idea how it got there. My son was so excited. I told him I had to send him home. He says, "Nuh uh, you put him in trash!" :))

    Worms on my fireplace hearth.
    Tonight when I was putting the bedskirt back on my bed, I found the stem to a pumpkin under my bed.

    @notsohotmomma, I found a toad on my dining room table just last week!! Lol!

    And found another toad in the kids' play kitchen microwave...

    A pull up in the washing machine *after* I had washed them. That was fun.

    A few days ago when I was changing my sheets I found two red grapes in my bed (sometimes the kids will watch a movie in my room and sneak a snack). The problem is is that I haven't bought red grapes in a few weeks. We have green grapes, no red. I change my sheets every week sooooo where the hell did they get red grapes and how the hell did I not know they were in there??? It's a friggin mystery!

    Hair clamps in my pocket after work. I don't have a girl anymore. Even when I did she never wore that kind.
    I keep finding things that DD " hid" around the house. I found her DS Nintendo game system a week or so ago.
    Rocks end up everywhere.
    The worst thing I found was DSs iPod in the dryer!!!!! Oops.

    I'm always in for a shock when I open up my fridge. DS3 likes to go "hunting" so his stuffed animals and other toy animals end up in there all the time. He tells me "I shot us some suppah." This morning I was fishing around in my purse for my keys and found a sticky lollipop and some goldfish crackers.
    I've found stuffed animals in the oven too.

    @notperfect Thanks! As soon as my laptop gets back (ask DS what happened to that) I'll post some picks of it. Took him out to Bugaboo Creek the other night and he went nuts over the talking moose. He had me hang some of his stuffed animals on the wall and make them talk so our house would be "like dat resperaunt." he cracks me up.

    Leaves and rocks almost everwhere dd can shove them. Under her pillows hell under my pillows!

    Once...a wild bird. IN MY BATHROOM! first thing in the morning after a windy day that I didn't really keep my doors open....
    that was more than 10 years ago. I still don't know.how it happened. No cat at that time....

    while doing the laundry I once reached in to a pocket full of live crickets...OMG.. Hebbie jebbie dance for hours!

    and I find rocks...everywhere! 

    I am amazed every time I pull out the bottom drawer of the oven ... Its like the black hole. Kids never tell you that they lost something. No word at all. But you pull out the oven to clean underneath and its like a little boys buried treasure. It's a wonder my house hasn't burnt to the ground with all that shit under there!

    I found blackberries in my bed this morning. That was pretty weird. Whole blackberries, not even squished at all! 
    And a library book in the bath. That was bad!

    When my ds8 was 2-3 he used to use his toy bins to make stairs (sturdy ones even!) to get over the child gate at night, sneak into the kitchen, steal cookies and snacks and juice boxes. Then he'd make stairs from capri sun boxes (still sturdy) climb back over and have a food hoard under his bed in one corner. Have no idea why. Sometimes it was even food he couldn't eat without cooking it (canned biquits) though he and his brother tried at one point. Put them on a plate, put them in the oven. Luckily they didn't know you have to turn the oven on first. They though they had it in the wrong thing so tried another can in a muffin tin. My boy's were a handful. Sneaky, quiet, night owls. They never made a sound. And this stuff was always done before 6 am

    I once found a baked potato at the very back of the oven, when it had been weeks since we'd had baked potatoes. I wouldn't have known it was there except that it got reheated a time too many and exploded all over the inside of the oven. That was fun.

    Between the kids and the dog....

    Kids- microwaved a package of frozen bacon, set the microwave on fire with popcorn.. Their plastic tubs they use to get into everything and if thats not tall enough they stack them on chairs. The put crayons in their pockets, rocks, bottle caps and since my bf does laundry they go through the washer and dryer... All my whites are tie dyed with wax. They leave their shoes in random places behind the toilet and even leave them in the back yard when they havent been out there...

    The dog drags un opened tampons all over the house.. Bone peices have been found between my matress on my bed...

    I once found a slice of pepperoni stuck to the ceiling, about a week after we had pizza.  I have no idea how it stuck there in the first place, or how it managed to stay there for so long.

    Once found a snake in our air conditioning vent in our old house.  The vents were in the floor, and the snake was in the living room vent; found dozens of little boy toys in the ones in the bedrooms.  We have girls.

    This doesn't qualify as a found item, but I found my daughter bidding on horses on an online horse auction site.  She had my credit card in hand.  I found this twice, once I caught her before she submitted her bid.  The second time she had already been out-bid and was raising her bid.  She was 10 or 11 at the time.

    2 nights ago, DH came into our bedroom and asked if I smelled smoke. We went to the kitchen and could smell something electrical burning. The only thing in use was the dishwasher. We opened it up and a cloud of smoke came out. We discovered a half burned fruit cup with the fruit still in it. Thank you DD2!

    Rocks, sticks, dandelions everywhere! Dd loves to bring yard treasures in. Toys and snacks in my purse all the time. I'll reach into it to get my wallet or keys at a store and I'll pull out a toy car and 4 pretzels.

    @breezy we must have the same oven! Omg, I pulled out the oven drawer to clean behind it a couple months ago and I almost fell over laughing! Like 8 markers, a handful of crayons, 3 toy cars, a couple batteries, and.... a bunch of poker chips??? Like seriously, poker chips from a frigging casino! Wtf? My 4 and 7 year olds are hanging out at in Vegas or something? I have no idea where those came from.

    I have found secret stashes of things all over the house. Boxes with rocks , feathers, beads and small toys. Coloring books rolled up and completely colored in. Notes in half filled in note books that are mostly scribbles but a few legible words. " I love you " and "Brianna " . I found a picture she colored of Rosa Parks and almost broke down. Silly I know.

    Toy cars in my fridge, since ds 13 months started trying to climb in every time it's opened. He also likes to throw the utensils from the tray into the bottom of the dishwasher.
    Dd likes to store toys, the occasional snack, and sippy cups in her bed.

    A sippy cup of apple juice in my purse when I was at work - the baby was at home.  I've found binkys in my purse, too and I never kept them there.

    Just washed & dried a cap from a water bottle.  I've washed a pull up, too.

    Scariest was a shoebox full of cut off Barbie hair - eww.

    Found a gun in the fridge yesterday. I find something strange so often that it barely even registers anymore.

    I pulled out the bottom kitchen drawer when I was a teenager and found a live snake. Instinct makes you snatch your hand away from it, but I didn't get my fingers out of the pull so the snake FLEW at me along with the drawer.

    @Xraymom Squirrel tails can come off when pulled, it's a defense mechanism..must hurt. I've found a missing sapphire necklace under my kitchen table, tucked up in the joints of the wood, when I asked my son about it he said it was pretty so he was keeping it safe for me. He was about 3 or 4. I usually find Lego's in the wash, Twice found my Flashcard in the dryer..oops..

    my son used to hide stuff like a hoarder. he stashed his sisters ipod in the sand box, my mini jewelry box in his toy box, the remotes still get hidden around the house. when something is missing, we always ask him first I once found the milk in the cereal cabinet, and cereal in the fridge. must have been a midnight snack.
