I opened up my fruit drawer in my fridge this morning to find a pair of size 4T My Little Pony underwears sitting in there.
Me: BAILEY MIDDLE LAST NAME!!!!!
B: Mama?
Me: *holding up and shaking said underwears* THESE HAD BETTER BE CLEAN.
B: *dumb look* Oh. I wondered where I left those. They are clean Mama, I promise.
Me: You wondered? How exactly did they end up in there?
B: Well I was starting to get dressed see…and I needed a string cheese and I couldn’t find on in the cheese drawer and then I thought maybe I could have a strawberry instead. But Mama?
Me: Yes?
B: We are out of strawberries and string cheese. Can you get more?
Me: I. <deep breath> How did your underwear get in the fridge?
B: I don’t know. *shrug* I went back to my room hungry and they were missing. I just got a new pair.
Me: Uh huh. *shaking head* So you are wearing underwear?
B: Yes. Mama?
Me: Yes?
B: Will you buy more string cheese? I really like string cheese.
Me: Yeah sure. Please go find your shoes.
B: My shoes? *blank stare*
Me: Sigh. YES. Shoes. Please. School. Now.
I really do fear for my grandchildren one day. I can picture it now; phone rings and it will be them. They’ll be at the grocery store, stuck in the freezer, not sure where in the world their mother has gone off to this time.
Let it be known that she couldn’t find her one shoe today. She is literally wearing two different colored Crocs right now. I hate Crocs, but there is a reason that she owns them. They are inter-changeable.

Grab My Button!
I’m a joiner
ROTFLMAO
I’m sorry to laugh, but this totally reminded me of something I did when I was 6.
First off, I was an observant little bugger and had noticed that when Mom wore pantyhose, she didn’t wear underwear (sorry for the over-share, Mom!). Secondly, Mom was still setting my clothes out in the morning.
I got dressed one morning, went to school for the day, and remarked to my mom that it felt WEIRD not wearing any underpants. She looked at me, aghast, and demanded to know why I wasn’t wearing underwear. When I told her that it was because SHE hadn’t put any out for me (in my best 6-year old DUH voice, I’m sure), she damn-near keeled over. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was to wear underwear AT ALL TIMES. hehehe

@Chibi Jeebs, Laughing. Seriously this is funny.
Uh, I don’t know whether this will make you feel better or worse, but this? Is the kind of stuff I do now.
I can never find my shoes. My keys are always missing. I won’t even tell you about the strange places I’ve discovered my (clean) underwear.

@avasmommy, I am thinking I should just be happy they were clean.
She used to hide them if she had an accident. Not because we even cared, but because then we’d make her wash off.
LOL this is awesome and sounds JUST like my house!

@becky, I am glad to hear it isn’t just at my house.
She didn’t happen to leave her shoe in the refrigerator, did she?

@Capital Mom, I’m glad. I think we all could use a laugh after this week.
Thanks for that, I needed a good giggle this evening. At least they were clean right!

@Kirsten, She is. She takes after me. Oh wait.
That’s freakin’ hilarious.
Actually, I’m really, really impressed that she can get dressed for school without direct supervision…my 6 and 5 year olds seem to have trouble with that.
(I imagine the phone calls from them later on, “MOM, my kids are driving me crazy!” and I will laugh. Oh, how I will laugh…one day).

@kootnygirl, She can’t. That has been proven time and time again.
This is so funny. I had a roommate in college who did this kind of stuff ALL the time. I once found her razor in the freezer, and a bottle of ketchup in a bathroom cupboard. But, she is also one of the kindest, funniest, and smartest people I know, so I wouldn’t worry too much about Bailey.

@cindy w, For awhile, I kept finding the Wii remotes in the freezer. I thought it was a passive aggressive thing, but now, I’m not so sure.
I would love to tell you it gets better-but when I find a certain someone’s television remote in the freezer and instead of looking for it she ‘borrows’ her sisters. Well…..you get the picture.

@Domestic Extraordinaire, Yes, but a remote is not underwear.
ROTFLMAO!!! This story totally made me smile. It’s something my 6 year old daughter would do too. Or me for that fact. Too cute.
One day her partner, like mine, will think it’s ridiculous that she checks the fridge and freezer (and microwave and cabinets) when she loses anything. 9 times out of 10, that’s where the lost item is hiding out.
