Where do you suppose bobby pins go??? I bought 3 new containers of bobby pins over the last 2 months - (there are 60 bobby pins in a package - I've checked). I need these little bobby pins to keep all the stray hair back from my daughters faces into neat ponytails. - However they are forever, let me repeat "forever" getting lost - never to be seen again in the vacuums of our house. Well I do pick a few stray ones up occasionally in the vacuums - sounds great!!! However I am straying from my original thought - where do all the bobby pins go at the end of the day?? Will we move out one day and find a stash of bobby pins behind a book, or will they stay for ever lost where the other match of my favorite sock went to?
So right now as I post the count is 4 bobby pins. It's a losing battle!

yeah... I got nothing for you on this one.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 girls too. 'Tis a mystery my friend. My theory? I think there is a bobby pin fairy that slips in ever so quietly while we are sleeping and steals them. I mean, my girls totally put them where they go every time they remove a pin from their hair, so they can't possibly be getting lost...
There's a theory that lost pens hide in your closets and hatch into wire hangers, because you can never find a pen when you need one, but there are always too many wire hangers.
ReplyDeleteMaybe bobby pins are the larval form of something else ubiquitous, like... I don't know. What do you think?
We have the same problem at our house! It's ridiculous. Hair ties too. Are there little elves who collect them in the night?
