  ME!!! (RAISES HAND, THREE TIMES)

MY SON WAS AROUND THREE AND I WENT OUT TO GET THE MAIL IN MY BARE FEET, NO COAT ON, SNOW ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER, HE PUSHED THE DOOR SHUT AND APPARENTLY HE PUSHED THE BUTTON TOO!!! I HAD TO GO TO THE NEIGHBORS AND THEY GOT A LADDER TO HELP ME PUSH UP MY WINDOW (OLD FARM HOUSE) AND THE NEIGHBOR CRAWLED THROUGH FOR ME, AS I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TOO!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY, I ALSO CARRIED A KEY AFTER THAT AND ALSO WORE MY SHOES OUT IN THE WINTER )

MY DAUGHTER AROUND THREE YEARS OF AGE ALSO, WE HAD MOVED HERE AND THE U.P.S. GUY CAME WITH A PACKAGE I HAD TO SIGN FOR. AGAIN WINTER, NO SHOES, BUT DID HAVE SOCKS ON (I HATE SHOES) NO COAT AND MY DAUGHTER DECIDED TO PUT THE CHAIN ON THE DOOR!!! IT IS A SPRING ACTION ONE, SO SHE COULD GET IT ON, BUT COULD NOT GET IT OFF... NOW OLD GRMA WAS ALSO IN THE HOUSE WITH HER, BUT SHE WAS WHEELCHAIR BOUND AND I HAD ALREADY MOVED HER TO A REG CHAIR. SHE SAID SHE WOULD TRY AND GET UP TO UNLOCK IT AND I'M SCREAMING NO YOU DON'T, I CAN'T GET THERE TO KEEP YOU UP!!! (SHE HAD, HAD A MASSIVE STROKE ON HER ONE SIDE SO ONLY ONE SIDE WORKED FOR HER. I TOLD HER, YOU GET THE BABY IN YOUR LAP AND I'M GOING TO TRY AND BREAK THE DOOR DOWN. IT WAS AN OLD HOUSE THAT WE HAD JUST BOUGHT AND I WAS STILL REPLACING THINGS. WELL AFTER BEING OUT IN THE COLD FOR ALMOST 20 MIN'S. I BROKE THE FRAME DOWN AROUND THE DOOR AND SQUEEZED IN THAT WAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR FRAME!!!

THIRD TIMES A CHARM!!! JUST THIS SPRING MY LITTLEST ONE (YES A THREE YEAR OLD ) LOCKED ME OUT WHEN I WENT OUT TO THE ROAD TO GET BRE OFF THE BUS!!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WE FINALLY GOT SMART AND HID A KEY OUTSIDE. OH WAS I FIT TO BE TIED WHEN I GOT IN. I COULDN'T FIND HER WHEN I DID GET IN AND BY THE TIME I FOUND HER HIDING, I ASKED HER WHY DIDN'T YOU LET GRMA IN, YOU KNOW HOW TO UNLOCK THE DOOR!!! HER REPLY, """ I DIDN'T KNOW WHO WAS AT THE DOOR AND I'M NOT SUPPOSE TO OPEN IT""" )

I wonder if anyone (besides me) has been locked out of their house??? A few years ago I took Martha (minpin) out front to do her business at about 10pm on a cold and foggy night. The doorknob on the front door is the type that you just push and twist to lock, and I guess Buck had jumped up on the door and his paw had locked it because I was locked out! All I was wearing was a coat, tshirt, shorts and my slippers!The front gate was also locked (keys inside the house of course!) so I climbed over the back gate (which was broken and not its full height thank goD!), took a brick and busted the window near the back door and got in that way.Since then I don't go out of the house without having the keys with me!Deb
