Cracked the case of the anonymous backyard note thinking it was serious.

Got a weird letter with symbols in my mailbox. Looked up codebreaking basics, turned out to be kids planning a treasure hunt.

Wait, but isn't the fun in the mystery itself?

Podcast said toddler hiding spots follow a deranged internal logic.

Honestly, always check for kid stuff first before going full detective.

My toddler hid the remote in the cereal box last month, @parker_anderson. I spent an hour searching before I thought to check there.

Yeah but the mystery loses its charm when you're tearing apart couch cushions and the "culprit" is just happily smearing yogurt on the wall. Parker's got it right, you skip straight to the most absurd possible hiding spot a tiny chaos gremlin could conceive. Saved myself a whole panic attack last week by immediately checking the bathroom trash can, and yep, there was my car key fob. The real detective work is trying to figure out the toddler's utterly deranged logic after the fact.
