A normally reserved people, the Mittens venture out to play.

Me: and i can't find my hairbrush!!!!
Sister: maybe it is hiding out with your mitten?
Me: i found my mitten
Sister: maybe they are playing hide and seek. and the mitten had to pee so it came out of hiding and you found it. just wait. the brush will get scared, all alone in the dark closet and it will come out too.
