Kids in No Mans Land (Aka- The Third Seat)

What is it about kids that makes them believe the car is a good place to stash their special treasures?  Recently, to the surprise of many, my car needed to be cleaned out.  The front seat honestly was not that bad. I removed a few napkins, a cup, a highlighter, old business cards, several campaign bumper stickers and loose change. The second seat is what I consider kid zone.  There I removed a baby seat I used for my for my niece, found a few of her little toys, a first aid kit, some trash, a couple of straws stuck in between the seats,  a few cups on the floor, a light sprinkling of sunflower seeds and a couple of candy wrappers.  As I crossed over into no mans land (aka the Third seat) I almost had a heart attack. I had noticed the peanut gallery complained on a regular basis the last few weeks about having to ride back there but it never dawned on me to look back there. They had everything back there with the exception of my kitchen sink.  From no man's land, the following was removed:  4 pair of shoes, several shoes with out matches, 2 jackets, 12 open packets of ketchup (the kind you get from Chic-Fil-a),  1/2 of the furnishings out of Barbie's dream home, most of Barbie's wardrobe, several naked barbies with WILD hair (heaven forbid should we bush their hair or put the clothes on), 3 stuffed animals, a clock, several DVD's, dry erase board, left over food  from our last road trip,  chewed gum, lifesavers, 6 books, 4 bracelets, 4 iPhone chargers, several pairs of ear phones, 3 half empty water bottles, several gator aid bottles, one of my shoes that has been missing for over 3 months, bitty baby bibs, and a bag of Sun Flower seeds.  This was not just any old bag of sunflower seeds...someone had to have bought this at Sam's and it looked like they had been sewed for planting in my third seat.  There were thousands of these seeds and shells.  There were so many that the holes where the seatbelt buckles come out were level with sunflower seeds.  Tell me... What is it about the third seat?  Do kids think no one will ever see all of their little treasures stored there?  I told my kids today that no mans land is like the spot under their beds where Mom's instinctively know to look for everything the moment we walk out of the hospitals with our little bundles of joy.  I am honestly not sure what inspires kids to hide stuff in the third seat but I do know this...someday they will have kids who will hide stuff in their third seat too! #MommyProbs
