You were in a room. There were two objects in this room.
You moved to another room. There were three objects in this room.
There are four objects in total. How is this possible?
NOTE -
Based on a real-life situation!
You could be an object.

I agree. The person is an object. Also, I'm naked, so I don't have any clothes that count as objects.

If you were wearing the clothes, it'd all be one entity, so I'd still consider it just one object.

I don't know, even if I'm wearing pants I still consider the pants to be a separate object from me.
I'd better walk into the room naked, just to be sure..

But I'd still consider Little Ron a separate entity because sometimes it has a mind of it's own o_O

Not necessarily a mind of its own, but rather, a shared mind. To yours, that is.
As objectish as you are, you are not an object.
You took an object from room #1 with you into room #2?

Bingo.
EDIT -
It might not be to aparent, but I had to do some nice work with making it all past tense, so that I'm not specifically saying that the room still had all its objects when you left it.
:D
Btw, I think counting yourself as an object is at least as good of an answer.
It's basically the same answer, I guess, since you take yourself with you :)
All the objects are exactly (to the naked eye, at least, lets not get technical) the same.
(16:25:09) Joe: The real life situation was, in the kitchen, there were two cups. I came to my room and counted 3 cups, and had to make up for the extra cup, realized I brought it down with me, and posted that riddle =p

The riddle didn't say that.
I can reenact the situation my way, if you'd like. I have 2 cups in my bedroom, and there's 2 on the table.
So there are 3 objects in my room. *leaves room*. Now there are 3 objects in the other room. GG I win.
