<p>Just for fun what is the strangest thing you found in your student’s room?
I found a kitten once. I don['t know how long teen had it there but we found a home for it.</p>

<p>The vacuum.</p>

<p>I assure you that I would “win” this one hands-down, but I can’t say. I have to protect the not-so-innocent. Just below the unmentionable, I found a large coil of heavy-duty rope. I was supposedly “for his friend’s grandfather” but I suspect it was part of a plan to build an escape route from his second floor room. (now you can understand my screen name better!!)</p>

<p>tidiness… ;)</p>

5

<p>no one has mentioned a porn stash yet</p>

6

<p>Because that’s not strange</p>

7

<p>yes I would say other than food products that had been in there long enough to grow colonies I haven’t found anything really strange</p>

8

<p>dead bird parts (thanks to our cats), but undetected for quite some time in S’s room</p>

<p>Are we talking about rooms at home or dorm rooms?? The answer would differ…</p>

10

<p>An oscilloscope under the bed. I have no idea where it came from.</p>

11

<p>You all go in your children’s rooms … I salute your courage!</p>

12

<p>I had to when our basement leaked and she was away at school. yuck</p>

13

<p>lo, l rope? I go in there to put away washed clothes. (I willnot let kids use my washer- I need that thing!) I mean when you see a trail of ants from the window to the closet that entitles me to investigate.</p>

14

<p>Haha Ohio Mom. This happened some time ago but probably still qualifies…</p>

<p>As part of my (useless) campaign to limit media exposure, I restricted the ‘fast’ computer to the Dining Room. First person-shooter gaming was forbidden to boys ages 8, 10.</p>

<p>One day, H and I noticed an elec cord, carefully covered by duct tape, snaking along the floor, from third floor to second floor of our turn-of-the-century house. As it came down the third floor stairs it ducked under the door of younger S’s room and into his closet. Open the closet and voila! A small computer gaming station made up of old computers and monitors–connected to the DSL via the mystery cord. My Ss, the electricians!</p>

<p>Strangest thing in student’s room? You mean besides him right?</p>

16

<p>Big LOL pat.</p>

17

<p>haha. my parent’s don’t go in my room :stuck_out_tongue: but I don’t think there’s anything strange in here…</p>

18

<p>there could be MANY strange things buried under the piles. Who knows?</p>

<p>For those of you enjoying this thread you should read this one on the old forum. Carolyn’s post made me think of it.</p>
