"What happened to your music?"

This is one of my favorite questions to ask when a student comes to me asking for a new part.

Common answers include:

"I forgot it in my cabin."

"I think I left it somewhere in the cafeteria."

"I left it somewhere and I came back and it was gone!"

But, occasionally, we get some interesting responses:

"I set it on the Pepsi cooler and it got a little damp."
"I wrote my shopping list on it."

"It fell in the lake."

And, my personal favorite...

"I threw it away."
