Growing up I always wrote off “it’s always in the last place you look” as just another random thing adults loved to just say all the time.

So is that phrase a joke? I see people talk about how dumb/obvious it is, but I always thought it meant “it’s always in the last place you [would have thought to] look”, as in a ridiculous place you’d never consider.

However my whole family is ADHD and used to setting things in dumb spots you’d never check.
