I will NEVER find all my marbles!

When DS' Cub Scout Pack expressed an interest in the Mibster patch (Marbles,) on a camping weekend that looked like rain, I cleaned out the dollar store and the local Wally World so I'd have enough for each boy to keep a set. I ended up with a gazillion marbles ... and a weekend that cleared up enough to hike and do "camp stuff" instead. Since I'd bought the marbles. myself, I took them home for another day. When we finally used them, it was only for my den, so I had MANY marbles left over.

All was fine until my then toddler daughter found my stash. Do you have any idea how many places nearly two gallons of marbles can roll to ... and how many places a busy two-year-old can hide them? DD just graduated HS, which tells you how long ago those little buggers spilled ... and we're STILL finding marbles ... all over the house. Every time I find one, I silently place it in DD's hand and give her "The Look." She face palms and just walks away. It's priceless!
Somewhere in the secret dimensions of your house, preying mantises/manti/whatever are building great towering marble monuments to the gods who gave the shining Palantíri to the Mantis people, thus launching the glorious O-Shiz Kingdom. (Named for the voices of the Seven Thunders who announced the gods' wondrous gift.)
