This is fabulous!!! First, I love that you were ready to save the day... mostly I love that they didn't need saving... just goes to show, on both counts, what a fabulous dad you are (they turned lemons into lemonade!) The Exception´s last blog post..Dreams

When I was a kid, I used to forget my keys all the time. I’d break into my house, either through the garage or a bathroom window. A few times, that ended up with broken glass (unintenionally!) and my dad put the kabosh on me breaking in. After that, I’d just sit on the porch waiting… Not sure why we didn’t have a hidden key. Probably the same reason I don’t have one now!

Your children are lucky that you would come over to rescue them. As a child, if I had locked myself out of the house, no one would've come to my rescue. I think I lost them once, and it sucked not being able to get what I needed. I had to sit with the neighbors for hours. Which is why I almost never lost them.

David – maybe my schedule is a little more constrained than yours is, although I have rearranged it at the last moment when a kid’s been sick or needed to get home from school. This situation reminds me of the reason that there is always a key under the geranium on the deck in back. However, the playing with the hose does sound like a great way to save them from the heat.

Great post! I can't tell you how many times I've gone running to the aid of my kids w/ all kinds of worst-case scenarios going through my head. Jennifer´s last blog post..Sick
