The plastic Yoda you see here is from a Taco Bell kids meal sometime in the late 1990s.
This Yoda has a long and wonderful history. At some point shortly after I got him, my family started playing "Hide Yoda." He would turn up in the oddest places: your sock drawer, your cereal box, inside a decorative wreath. If you found him, you got to hide him next. We had so much fun with him. My favorite memory was New Year's Eve 1998 when my sister contrived to hide him in my piece of Black Forest Cake. We all laughed so hard! Another good Yoda finding was when my parents left on their mission to Boston in 1997 and I hid him in the small box of things my Mom took along to make the mission apartment feel like home. When she found him, she cried.
Sometimes he has turned up missing for quite awhile. We hadn't seen him in a couple of years and I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to turn up again. But that's the great thing about moving-- you lose the weirdest stuff but you also find the weirdest stuff. While we were looking for our phone (we had a live jack for 2 days before we could locate a handset to plug into it) Yoda showed up.
So, Readers, where should I hide him next????? (Leave Comments!)

OH HOORAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad Yoda is back!!! I remember when he sat in Mom's dried flower wreath in the kitchen hallway for days and days without anyone noticing him. My favorite place to hide him was always in your Pasta Roni boxes. Also, Dave once replaced a finial on the four poster with Yoda. Good times.
OK, so my vote is back to the kitchen. I think you should hide him in a package that someone is going to use in a week or two but not necessarily tomorrow. Also a package that you might let your kids open themselves (this might be hard...)
In a plant(one that is very hard to see through.)

I think you should hide him in plain sight to freak someone out. Like looking right at them when they;re on the potty first thing in the a.m. or such. But, that's just me. I like to get a start out of people! :o)
Maybe you could put him in one of your nice Oak Trees.
Mankato MN might be a funny place
