Today’s edition of “Things I found in my printer” include:
The natural reaction to having these items jammed inside the paper tray of your printer might be upset. On the contrary; it makes me feel better that the cordless phone thing wasn’t all my fault; we were playing a really advanced game of hide and seek with it. I am also happy to report that I am not losing my marbles in thinking that I owned a stapler. The rock; I can’t explain its origins except that I think it’s some kind of sedimentary rock from the Badlands of Alberta.
Three year olds are delightful, aren’t they?

I’m slightly shocked there’s no duplo/megablocks in there to be honest. Maybe that’s just because at work we find it everywhere…and I mean everywhere. Glad you’re not losing your mind! xx
We had a real megablock problem for a while; I boxed them all up the day that one fell out of my purse at a job interview.
We have them falling out of bags, cars, coats, drawers…the joy of Autistic spectrum disorders and obsessive moving around of small objects! lol
Where else would you keep those things? Seems logical to me.
They were quite safe. Note to theives: I am totally storing all of my precious items in there from now on.
That’s pretty funny. I sometimes find cat toys in strange places but this is funnier.
Prior to kids we had dog toys in every possible place, I thought. However, they didn’t have the dexterity to get them in a printer. That’s how I gauge whether my kids have finally become smarter than the dogs.
Pffft…that’s nothing.
I know, I wish it was something terribly valuable from someone else’s house. Then I wouldn’t have to return it, right?
No. Finders Keepers!
It’s like an early Christmas.
Every day does feel like Christmas with three year olds. Mostly because I have to redecorate the tree every goddamned day.
What would be really amazing is if your printer still worked through all this. 🙂
Totally worked! The only reason that I found the items was because the paper got jammed and I had to look and see what was going on. They’re going to have to try harder next time.
Maybe the next item will contain peanut butter…
That is almost a certainty. Their love for peanut butter is deep and abiding.
Didn’t have a printer in the house when my kids were little; best “hide-and seek” discovery was the day my 4-year old decided the VCR was hungry and fed it half her PB&J sandwich. When I asked her why, she said it sucked it right in, so she must have been right!
Hilarious! Previously, I thought those kinds of things only happened on TV, but it turns out that TV is pretty tame compared to the things kids do in real life.
I’m only saddened that you didn’t find the cordless phone because the printer was ringing.
Seriously, how cool would that have been?
This is great. It’s like you just created an extra storage area in your house!
Kids keep you on your toes, don’t they? What fun, to hide things in the printer. What will they think of next?
