P keeps threatening to install a kick board underneath our living room couch, to avoid the daily — sometimes twice-daily — annoyance of having to search under it for missing toys (etc.).
I’ve managed to put him off thusfar, knowing that an exhaustive tally would be needed first, in order to create this accurate rendering of contents:
This post is yet another installment of “Graphakery,” an occasional series of fake graphs based on semi-real statistics. Other fascinating topics I’ve abused with my MS Paint-style talents: boogers, coffee, shampoo, PMS, TV, irony, kids’ soccer and sunscreen.
I think ours would be three more large dogs (pet hair accumulation – they don’t call it ‘fur’niture’ for nothing), a variety of pellets from Airsoft guns (I have a teen boy), and an errant ice pack that ran away and hasn’t been seen for weeks. Lego does seem to make a periodic appearance despite having been relegated to the basement for years! – Suzan -

Thanks so much! I usually don’t do blog awards — because even if they included the 10 most interesting questions of all time, I’d still manage to be boring as hell — but I definitely appreciate the thought!
That’s fine. It’s the thought that counts.
Glad you added that they knitting needles LOL
Realized after I added the red tips that maybe some clarification was in order … : -)
Please send detailed plans of kick board design ASAP (yardstick keeps getting hung up on…never mind, I don’t want to know!)
Ha! I usually use a wooden spoon (I have long arms … and rarely make soup).
I wish the finds under my couch would be so interesting. Unfortunately, I’m an empty nester and unless my daughter has plans in the immediate future to give us a grandchild, I will continue to have a boring under the couch. It used to be that we would find beheaded Barbies, half-done lanyards, crayons and markers. Sigh! Not anymore. Even our dog does not have much in the way of hairballs. Great Danes have very short hair—more like the length if my eye lashes.
Oh, my parents’ couch would be a treasure trove indeed. We visit about once a month but I was so late in having kids that my folks are well out of practice with under-couch stuff-diving. Wouldn’t be surprised if there are four or five months’ worth of randomie located two feet south of where I’m sitting right now!
If it’s missing, it’s gotta be under the couch (or under their cushions)!
Love you graphic.

Thanks! Right now P’s toothbrush is missing … hmm …
under my couch…hmmm…oh look, it’s mitochondria!
Ha! Leave it under there long enough and you too could grow your very own dust T-Rex.
