spirit hides the tv remote

the remote to our TV disappeared last night my husband and I checked both sides of our chairs the table, a shelf, the floor, a shoe, the garbage can My husband asked “do you think Beau has it?” “Not a chance,” I told him “we would hear him chewing it”. We turned on the lights and tore the living room apart. Moved the couch and both recliners. Put our hands down the recliners three or four more times. “Your mom’s birthday is tomorrow,” I said “do you think it is her saying hello?” His mother has been gone twenty years, but this felt like spirit playing tricks. We already lost one remote to this machine and it was never found. I will not be surprised if it is sitting here next to our chairs tomorrow. I was wrong. It was sitting on the chair in the morning.
