Reminds me of my dad. Years ago, he lost a 9/16" socket, and constantly asked it we (his sons) had taken it. We all denied it, but he asked over and over. One day we all happened to be in Sears, and I suggested we all get him a 9/16" socket. That Christmas, dad opened 3 presents, all the exact same thing.
Turns out he had found the original about a month before!
