"Heeey, it's Franklin..."

We are renovating our washroom at work, and I caught myself whistling Bob the builder at the urinal. Shoot me now.

Crawling requires getting up, but thanks for the suggestion. It means you care!

If you're already on your stomach you could just slither off the bed on to the floor.. You wouldnt officially get up.. Just slowly work your way across the room, at 1m/hr.

Franklin the Turtle rules. So do the Bernstein bears for that matter!

It could be worse, your TV could be stuck on the Oilers/Canucks game!

Feel better now?

True - but I am not on my stomach, just too comfortable to move really. Once I get comfortable, if I have to watch Dark Knight on repeat or several episodes of Three's Company to avoid getting up, so be it.

EG, I think there are a number of CP posters who'd be more than happy to go and knock on your door.

Clearly it has something to do with this

LOL!

I can sing my son the Igglepiggle song from In The Night Garden. The most bizarre show since Teletubbies, of course, my kid loves it.

I find myself singing the theme to Toopy and Binoo on occasion as well. Yeah, you can tell I spent 5 months at home with the kid last year.

I once lost a remote IN the couch. It kind of went behind and under the cushion. Really get in there.

Daradon · 01-07-2009, 09:05 PM

Killer must have found it, he hasn't come back.

Either that or he's trapped in the freezer.

Orrr... whatever got the remote got him...

Bribe the kid with a cookie. Because she KNOWS where it is.... she's just screwing with your head.

+1 this will have a pretty big impact on where things go.

Though if a kid really wants to get something lost, it will become lost forever, there's not much you can do about it.

Do you have a guitar, look inside the guitar, I've found things put in there.

Check down the heating vents?

In super high cupboards above the washer/dryer that you'd never think they could reach?

Cause I've found things in all these places, and yes it was my son in the high cupboards.. I caught him up there once, I had no idea he could climb that.

Remotes (and keys) should have beepers.

Buff · 01-07-2009, 09:39 PM

Actually, now that I think of it, my wife's friend lost her keys via her 2 year old daughter. If she would ask "What happened to my keys?" her daughter would say "I hide them". When asked where she hid them she would respond with "I don't know".

They had to get an entire new set of keys made and over a year later when moving furniture around they heard a jingling of keys in the box frame of their bed. There was a hole in the fabric on the underside of the box frame and their daughter had put them there.

Where'd I put that stupid remote beeper remote?

My son tears through drawers on the hunt for new play objects, we'd never see the beepers again

And anyone that suggests the beeper button should be on the TV, take a look at the remote codes section in the manual for a universal remote. Then tell me that you'll be able to get TV makers to agree on a standard for the beepers.

A better solution would be to have a the beeper button have a sticky backing on it so you can just stick it to the TV.

Or design a couch that comes with a remote. Then there could be a button on the couch! It could have a fridge in it, maybe a little toaster oven for snacks if you pay for the supreme series...the possibilities could be endless!

Clearly your jedi powers are acting up and working against you instead of for you.

Hey this isn't as crazy as I first thought, except the couch should BE the remote! You could lift your left buttcheek to go up a channel, right buttcheek to go down - accessing the on screen menu, however, would require eating gassy foods...
