The Mystery of the Missing Remote Control

For two days now, Hubby and I have been watching from our bedroom tv using a long wooden stick to surf channels. Why? We couldn't find our newly-bought universal remote control. I even had the nerve to blurt out, "It's fairly cheap. No worries, we could buy another one this weekend!"

You see, the tv is Hubby's bedtime pal way after we have talked about each others day, etc. While I put myself to sleep reading a book or magazine, he then turns in to his reliable pal to lull him to sleep. His favorite sleep-time channel - The Animal Planet. I have checked and cleaned every nook and cranny of our room. Still couldn't find it. It must be here (as I am in the bedroom now). That little thing couldn't get out of this room!

Last night, as I went to visit my brother and sis-in-law (who happens to live in this village, too), I told them the mystery behind the missing remote control. My brother said that the little spirits could be playing again with me/us. Hide-and-seek the items, eh. Yes. There are little spirits here at home who are really very playful. That is a different story. I'll post it come Halloween.

Going back to the missing remote control... I wanted to believe what my brother has just said until I found this....

Yes! It is inside my bag. The bag that I used two days ago. This isn't the first time it happened. One time at the office, I was reaching for my ringing mobile phone. And your guess is as good as mine. I happened to reach for the DVD remote control that time. My officemates even saw it.

The Mystery of the Missing Remote Control is now SOLVED!
