Give it a missed call...

In our house at least, there is a phrase that we use maybe too regularly. It is usually said in answer to the question "Does anyone know where (whatever) is? The answer "No idea. Give it a missed call." is just too common! Obviously, it originally referred to a particular mobile phone, but now it's gone on to be the answer to "where is/are the car keys/computer/jacket/new packet of toilet rolls/slippers/matches/the children, etc."

This morning I wanted to start the hoovering but I couldn't find the stick brush. Of all things to lose. I mean, it's not small. So, after searching the house high and low for 10 minutes or more, I was on the verge of giving it the said missed call when I found it. It was where it should have been! In the right place! Of course, that is the LAST place anyone would think of looking for something...
