A Correct answer
Explanation

A splinter is something you get while in the woods. You might sit down to try to find and remove it (seek it), but if you can't locate it, you unknowingly bring it home with you still embedded in your skin. The riddle plays on the irony of finding something that's actually lost in your body.
