Today, my 5-year-old nephew had the most amazing idea: to play a game with my keys. He took out all ten keys individually and hid them around the house. So far it's been two hours and I haven't found a single one. FML

Today, I was babysitting my niece when we decided to play hide and seek. I went in the shed, and waited. After waiting a while, I went to go back inside to see what was happening. I saw my niece had locked all the doors and was eating cookies on the kitchen bench. FML

Today, I finally got my hands on a Nintendo Switch. While unboxing it, I left the room to get a pair of scissors. When I came back, most of the box contents were missing and my little brother was standing there. It has been about 5 hours and I still haven't been able to find anything. FML

Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML

Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML

The wrong sort of lock in

Today, I gave my 10-month-old the house keys to keep her busy. I locked the burglar gate and left the door open. She can walk, and she threw the keys outside the gate. FML

I see him saying, "Let's play a game," to people in the future.

Yikes. Kids find the craziest hiding spots for small things. Good luck.

Show him a new game: Guantanamo Water Boarding. If it worked to find bin Laden, it'll work to find some keys ;)

Really? You're being held prisoner by the antics of a five year old? YDI

You have 2 options: 1) The longer one: sit down with him and explain that you should only play games with people who give their consent. That way, no one gets bullied and angry or sad. 2) The quicker one: tell him that you'd get ice cream for him, but can't do so without your keys.

bribery always works unless lactose intolerant, then the keys might make a quick appearance in the toilet

27- The ducts? Man, I dropped countless marbles, crumbs, boogers, and the occasional small toy in those... all but the boogers being unintentional. I can see that happening!

Did you let his parents know so they can make him fess up to where they keys are? If not, threaten him with an ass beating and then follow thru if he still refuses. 2hrs is way too long to put up with that shit. He is 5 years old.....don't let him get away with hiding your keys. Be an adult and take control of the situation!

Threatening and beating a child -regardless of the reason is wrong and possibly criminal. Agreed that OP needs to be the adult and take control but fear and violence are not the correct method. I'm all for throwing the child's favourite toys in the trash...
