How does a remote just up & disappear?

My son's remote remote has vanished.  Gone!  Poof!  We've searched under the bed, behind the bed, behind his dresser, and other places throughout his room.  It's nowhere to be found.

So now we're sharing a remote.

Ugh.

i spent half an hour of naptime looking for my DVD remote. that way i can select the Desperate Housewive episode that i left off at last night.

we have a $29 dvd player in our room, that we had bought the kids a few years ago. the battery to the remote died, i replaced it and the freaking thing won't work at all now... which made watching a TV show from DVD in my room impossible.

My husband is great at losing the remote.  He'll take it with him to another room or to the basement or put it in his pocket.  What is so difficult about just setting it back on the coffee table or putting it in the drawer?!  The power button on the TV is broken, so it's useless without the remote.  I waste so much time trying to find that damn thing!  LOL

I really have no idea where it could have gone.  The last time it was seen, my son had a couple of friends over.  I'm pretty sure TWC is gonna charge me for a lost remote, right?!

Try the freezer lol. I kid you not, we have found it there a few times ourself. Although I am pretty anal about putting things where they belong. Others in our old house weren't. We found everything you can think of in the freezer. Including car keys, passifiers, cell phones, even a puppy (it was okay and I went off on the person), scissors, cameras, cereal, a pan, coffee cups, hair brushes, and tylenol

LOL!  I would consider the freezer if the boy ever went into the freezer. 

A puppy in the freezer?!  I just caught that.  Good lord.

Have you checked in between the mattress and the bedframe. Jillian's winds up there all the time.
