    Most of the time it’s right in front of me, but my brain is just shortcutting over it.

    It’s become a running gag in my house that my wife will set something down on the floor so that I can’t possibly miss it, like a laundry basket that needs to go downstairs, and I step over it without thinking.

    One time, late at night, I went to my son’s bedroom to make sure he was asleep. His bed was empty. As I was leaving, I saw him asleep on the floor in the middle of the hall, which means I’d stepped over him.

    Sometimes I just don’t see things.

      Did your wife talk him into laying in the hallway just to test your awareness? Or did he figure he was going to prank Dad all on his own?

        I think he was on his way to come tell us something, then he got tired and fell back to sleep. He’s three.
