The most desirable object in any room is one that another kid is holding. Even if that object is a plastic pickle and the room is full of otherwise awesome toys.
Even with 2 dozen outfits in the closet, their entire wardrobe consists of 2-3 favorite shirts and pants, none of which match at all. And if you even suggest they wear something else, this is a most unacceptable crime and must be screamed about for at least 10 minutes.
And God forbid anything ever be in the laundry. Magic fairies must come by during sleep and clean my favorite shirt so I can sleep in it and wear it to school 5 days in a row, leading my teacher to seriously question the hygiene in our house.
The best time to absolutely need a toy you can't reach is when mom just started nursing the baby after making absolute sure you had everything you needed.
