Several years ago I w...Oh, I have a story about #3! Several years ago I was watching the little ones (18 months and 3 or so) of one of my husband's co-workers. The wife was having gall-bladder surgery. I went into the garage to throw out a dirty diaper and the door shut and LOCKED behind me! Remember, the kids were inside. I opened the garage door and went around to the front door. It was locked so I rang the doorbell. The 3 year old came to the door and I asked him (through the side window) to open the door for me since it was locked. He hollered back, "Mommy says no!" Evidently, his mommy had instructed him to never open the door for anyone. It took me several minutes to convince him to let me in. To this day, I have never told he parents what happened. (The mom was a super over-protective mom.) An interesting side note -- that co-worker? He is currently my husband's boss.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832521649509135897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-40925473609757294652014-03-26T21:38:21.117-04:002014-03-26T21:38:21.117-04:00Your lockout story is very frightening.

So glad that little one knew to come to the back room and that the end was a funny story to share some 30 years later. How about we join up on the Pacific Coast one of these days when I reach that point on my around the country car trip. BTW, we'll ride in your convertible!<br /><br />Avocados are my almost 1st choice too.
