Weirdness!
I have a young couple who have two little boys, both toddlers 3-4 Sim days apart. The Husband decides it would be a good thing for he and his wife to do some volunteer work, a desire he's had for quit...

One of the boys is asleep, but the other one is not. The pop-up asks if a nanny should be hired, or should the boys be sent to Daycare. I select Daycare, since it's free. The youngest of the two disappears mid-stride and then the older boy, who was fast asleep, disappears from his little bed.
Since the volunteering is a Rabbit Hole, I keep the camera on the house itself. Normally, I hire a nanny which gives me, the player, something to do. Not this time, however. What I found very strange and a tad weird, is suddenly, about halfway through the allotted time for the parents' service to the elderly, I hear one of the toddlers giggle. I panned the camera around, thinking the parents must have returned. Nobody is on the front lawn. Yet, the child's giggle was loud enough for him to have been on the lot. Weirdness.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Please share your moments of weirdness or just unexpected moments in this game. :)

Yes - that happened with my toddler every time I sent her to day care. I don't think it's a glitch (I'd cleared the cache and repaired for other reasons quite recently). I think it's because they don't actually leave the lot through the normal portal (or return that way), so the kid is still sort of 'present'. All Sims make 'happy' sounds when they're happy, especially if they're asleep, and I think that's what we're hearing with the toddlers in day care.
