- Cell phone. My phone was missing for two days. We finally found it by calling it with another phone and listening very carefully for the muffled ringing, which turned out to be coming from the living room cupboard. Under the kids' towels. And several of Arram's toys that had also been stashed there.
- Amiri once stole $20 off the table and hid it in an inaccessible (to adult-size people) corner behind his bed.
- Keys: house, car. They've swiped these many times. The most recent event resolved after finding them in a shoe.
- Amiri apparently used to believe that the TV remote belongs in the laptop bag.
- A pair of pants. No, wait, I mean trousers-- 'pants' means underpants. A pair of trousers. Depending on the imaginary scenario you subscribe to, they were either accidentally dropped or enthusiastically flung off the balcony.
- Daddy's watches: they keep turning up in unexpected corners. Get ambitious and vacuum under the couch? Find a watch. Naturally.
- Our hearts. They've stolen our hearts. Barf, I know, but I couldn't resist...

Things the children have stolen from us and hidden away

Of course you couldn't resist...it's true. I might have made it number 1 in the list.
Ditto what Dad said! Does Arram have his own special "stash" like Amiri used to have when you still lived in California?
Yes, Arram has a special hiding place for treasures too. It's the cupboard with the sliding doors in the living room, where he hid my phone. Just recently, we found two missing bottles in there. Which, given the length of time, were no longer full of milk but cheese. (yuck!)
