Or down the back of the sofa...

Except in our house. We have an odd dining room. It slopes down in one corner (slippage of foundations years ago, all safe but quirky), and in the opposite corner is the piano.

If you drop something on the floor, you would expect it to roll into the sloping corner.

It doesn't.

We have discovered that all pianos (or the heaviest piece of furniture) have a force field that attracts small items. These items are sucked under the piano and never seen again. I've seen a ping pong ball on it's way down the slope CHANGE DIRECTION and be drawn under the piano.

Never did find that ping pong ball.
