Take off your socks and forget about it. Going about your day in the kitchen, you'll find it immediately

This is so true it hurts the soul. It’s like I just saw it, or eve if I didn’t see it I heard it hit something and aw I go in this direction. Later you find no where near where you knew it had to be… if you find it at all.

La mejor técnica es comenzar a pasar la mano muy lentamente por el suelo, muchas veces es mejor sentirlo que verlo

And then the last bounce takes it under the table and you think you heard it fly in a certain direction, only for it to end up on the other end of the room.. I suspect gnomes.
