A Story and a Spare Key
I was just reminded of one of my unpleasant moments of motherhood. It came when my 2 year-old daughter locked me out of the house and her in the house. Specifically, she was stuck in our small laundry room terrified and crying while I ran to borrow a phone and a ladder, even something to break a window. I did refrain from breaking the window, but twice I came very close. I knew she was pretty safe in there even though she was scared so I was able to impatiently wait about 30 minutes before my husband Kyle made it to rescue her (and me). Luckily, young kids are very resilient and are blessed with shorter memories, but if you don't have a spare key in your garage or outside your home, you might want to get one. It's not an experience I recommend.

I did that once when Kirk was 3 months old. I walked out without unlocking the door behind me to put the garbage out (in my robe, nonetheless). Luckily my neighbor walked by right then with her cell phone so I called Paul and he came to rescue me. It is not fun!!!
