Me to wife and kids: do you want this dumb knickknack or can I throw it away?

Wife and kids 100% of the time: NO WE NEED THAT IF YOU THROW AWAY WE WILL FREAK OUT.

Me: waits a week or two to see if anyone uses it or remembers and if not throws it away. Has worked without anyone noticing at least 100+ times over the years. Get so much dumb junk for birthdays and holidays when you have kids.
