    "How I know he's been here" challenge

    This is a picture of the jar on my desk here at home. See if you can tell how I know my 4-year old son has been visiting my desk while I'm gone...

    What are those 2 orange/yellow things in your jar? I have no young ones at home so I am guessing that it what he left you.
    Looks like some kind of food object, maybe something he doesn't want to eat, or maybe he was just sharing with dad.

      It's more subtle than that...

      The two yellow things are the handles of a crimping tool (though they do look a bit like cheese sticks), and the orange thing behind it is the handle of a screw driver that I use for the computers. Both are usually in that jar.

          looks to me either he took the screwdriver end cap or he has been testing a couple of the wire ties

            You got it! The screwdriver end cap is my fault, but maybe once every couple weeks or so I discover that one or more cable ties has been pulled through and carefully placed back in the bundle. . . .always makes me smile. In this case it's the yellow one closest to the top of the photo.

                  Shoot. I saw the cable tie but came too late to the thread. Oh well. My other guess was one of the pink ones was upside down.
