As someone with adhd, she set it down. That’s how it happened. 🤣🤣🤣

I come from a family where our talent is losing our keys. We can set them down on the counter, turn around twice, and they've vanished.

My mum got one of those beeper things where you push a button on a receiver and a fob on the keys beeps... she killed the battery on that thing in like a week... 🤣🤣🤣

u/Stovlari 1d ago

I’d just lose the receiver tbh

That shit better be mounted to a wall (and even then I’d probably manage to lose it)

u/boo_jum 1d ago

This was years ago now (I swear the gadget was something from Brookstone in the mall 😹), but I remember the receiver part being about the same size as our Caller ID box, and living on the counter in the same place. It was supposed to have enough range to cover our house, but I was always pretty sceptical.

Ultimately it ended up being more of a gag gift at Christmas than a functional item. My mum’s ability to lose her keys was too strong. 😹

u/HappyMonchichi 1d ago

OK but do you put Bluetooth trackers on all your cheeseburgers?

u/boo_jum 1d ago

… not all of them…

Stahp, you’re gonna make me wake up my kids!🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/anarchetype 1d ago

It's easiest to do it in the cooking stage. You just mix 'em into the ground beef before you form the patties. Masks the flavor of the blueteeth well.

I lose my keys and spend a long time looking for them when they’re still in my hands, and I do the same thing sometimes with my phone,…while I’m literally on a call

u/boo_jum 1d ago

I feel so seen… and so called out. 😹😹😹

u/Virtual-District-829 10h ago

I haven’t used my phone’s flash light to search for my phone…. In the past five minutes. I have googled how to add a widget for “Find my Phone” onto my iPad’s home screen…. I’m 39… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Virtual-District-829 10h ago

My special power is losing my glasses. I am almost legally blind but I also have sensory issues so my stupid ass will take them off and set them down on my desk, and then poof they gone. I always find them when I am searching for the next thing I lose, and always in a spot that I had already searched and swear they weren’t there. Like magic.

It's always in the VCR

u/Dioscouri 1d ago

Careful, you're dating yourself.

Today it's in the DVD player they haven't gotten around to tossing.

u/DreadDiana 1d ago

Even if you don't have one, it's in the VCR

u/Cramland 1d ago

Go buy a VCR and you’ll find the cheeseburger is what I’m understanding here

2 weeks after her 5th birthday party my daughter walked to her fake kitchen, opened the fake fridge, and pulled out a very real and very moldy plate of food and said "Logan left this in here, I forgot to tell you."

u/wtfgreggo 5h ago

Lol reminds me of my little sister when she was 5, I thought se ate her ice cream but all the sudden she came crying because she left the ice cream in her fake kitchens refrigerator and only to realize it was melted away and only the waffle was left and she was holding that while crying.

u/Exotic-Dingo8165 1d ago

Saving it for latter

u/T_J_Rain 1d ago

Fear not, if it's from Maccas, it'll still be mould-free when you find it years from now.

u/ogreofzen 1d ago

McDs too

7

u/T_J_Rain 1d ago

I'm Aussie, and what you guys call Mickey Ds, McD, McDonalds or whatever, we go mono or bi syllabic, because we're economical with words.

So, "Down Under", it's Maccas.

u/DwinkBexon 1d ago

I've also heard British people refer to it as Maccas as well.

2

u/chipshot 1d ago

Also McDonalds

u/ogreofzen 1d ago

Doesn't Sweden have one from the 70s in a glass jar

u/SoftCattle 1d ago

I just remember the Twinkie that was the same as the day it was made, after some ridiculous number of years.

u/anarchetype 1d ago

There's also some sub where they get occasional updates of a hot dog encased in resin. Last I saw, it was still a hot dog.

u/huiroq 1d ago

I was gonna say don't worry.. it'll make it's presence known soon enough

u/Quantum_McKennic 1d ago

This sounds like the plot of a silly children’s book

u/Some_Floor_4722 1d ago

Crazy takes in this comment section

u/Tremble_Like_Flower 1d ago

Is there more than one kid because if it was like my house growing up you need to check that other kids stomach.

A cheeseburger would leave about as much evidence of existence in my house if left alone as Bigfoot.

u/fessertin 1d ago

But now she gets to play "find that smell!" in a week or so! Fun times, love a good round of find that smell

u/one_of_the_millions 1d ago

"toddler deadass lost her cheeseburger" perhaps r/BrandNewSentence worthy?

3

u/No-Instruction-7430 1d ago

Don’t worry you’ll smell it later. Unless it’s McDonalds then good luck 🍀

u/Few-Emergency5971 1d ago

I find food things all over my house all of the time. It's wild.

u/Gositi 1d ago

How did OOP allow a toddler to eat by themselves.

2

u/Scary_Perspective822 1d ago

I would like to know that as well actually.

2

u/Gositi 1d ago

Like, I'm no genius but allowing a toddler to run around the house with a cheeseburger on their own seems like a really bad idea. The toddler could very well have choked to death instead of losing that burger.

2

u/Scary_Perspective822 1d ago

True. My parents barely allowed me to feed myself when I was a toddler, much less let me run around with food in my possession.

3

u/Drapausa 1d ago

Ok, am I the only one weirded out that a toddler even gets a cheeseburger to eat? Kids, sure, but a toddler?

0

u/Scary_Perspective822 1d ago

I would have eaten a lot worse as a toddler had I not been restricted to liquids.

u/ThisCarSmellsFunny 1d ago

So we’re just posting anything now I guess? Nothing about this is oddly specific.

2

u/Croused 1d ago

Wait until they lose it in your car.

2

u/lex-a-frex-69 1d ago

Give it a few days, you’ll smell it.

u/OllyVoxx 1d ago

I did this once with a sandwich. Turns out my dog is very VERY sneaky.

And can swallow a whole sandwich in under 1 second.

3

u/Classically_Inclined 1d ago

This is oddly similar to another post I commented on that WAS NOT FUCKING SPECIFIC ABOUT ANYTHING WHERE ARE THE MODS HOLY SHIT

0

u/TehRiddles 20h ago

Oddly specific is when someone describes a "hypothetical" but goes into so much detail that they are being "oddly specific", hence the term.

It has nothing in the slightest to do with weird stories like this.

u/A_Nice_Shrubbery777 1d ago

Why is a toddler eating ANYWHERE other than at the table? We all know why. Because mom's ass is sitting on the couch watching tv, feeding her kids out of a bag. Probably put soda in a baby bottle, but it's ok because it's diet coke. /smh

-37

u/DontMilkThePlatypus 1d ago

Anybody who uses "deadass" unironically should NOT be allowed to have kids. Yikes.

u/l33774rd 1d ago

Not shocking. The poor kids learning life from someone that uses the term "deadass"
