Yeah Daddy

Sam is our hero.

He stayed very calm and followed directions very well after he LOCKED US OUT OF THE HOUSE!

Brian was outside watering after doing yardwork and I went outside to tell him I had put the garage door down. I hadn't been out for more than a few seconds when I turned around and found the front door locked. It took a few seconds to realize what had happened. I turned to Brian and said, "He locked us out". I ran around to the back of the house, knowing I had shut the garage door, but hoping the back door was open.

Nope. Locked up tight.

I told Brian it was a no-go and we looked at each other like, "What are we going to do?" We knew if need be we could break a window, but not wanting to pay for a new window, we tried talking to Sam first. Sam had just finished helping Brian put knobs on the kitchen cabinets, so he knew just what to say.

Here's a transcript of Brian and Sam's discussion through the door:

B: Sam?

S: Hi Daddy!

B: How many knobs do you see on the door?

S: Two!

B: See the one on top, the one up high?

S: Yeah Daddy!

B: I need you to turn it and let us in.

S: (Sam tries turning the lock the wrong way) I can't do it Daddy! I can't do it!

B: Turn it the other way!

Ta-Da! It worked!

So far we haven't been locked out again...yet. Little Turkey.
