You're not going to believe this...I still can't
I was putting groceries away this morning and had to put some stuff in the freezer that's in the garage. I didn't want Bret to follow me so I closed the door behind me. Very much to my surprise, Bret locked me out of the house. I was instantly panicked because we don't keep a key in the garage or anything. All the doors are locked and the windows are closed and locked because I turned the A/C on. My neighbor across the street was home so I asked him if he knew how to pick a lock. He said 'no' but gave me a bunch of small screwdrivers to try. None worked so I called Jason to tell him to come home. In the mean time, I knocked on the locked door and heard Bret whining behind it. I tried to explain to him that he locked me out of the house and I couldn't open the door. I asked him to open the door for me, knowing he wouldn't know how to do it; although for some reason it made me feel better asking anyway. In utter amazement - he twisted the knob and unlocked the door. HE. UNLOCKED. THE. FUCKING. DOOR. I seriously can not believe he did it! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that my kid understood me that well; let alone knew how to twist a door knob. I am still shocked as I write this.......Oh, wait. Damn. Now we have to put the knobby-things on the doors so that he doesn't walk out of the house. Shit.

that's pretty amazing!
Oh my god! You have a genius on your hands. ;)
It is amazing what mischief little boys can get into!
Glad you got back in okay!
Now you get to figure out the downfalls of a baby engineer...lol
Wow, what a smart boy. I too would have freaked if the girls locked me out of the house.
Welcome to the world of little boys! ;)
G locked herself and Austin in the truck while it was running out. I couldn't get her to unlock it. Yay for Bret for unlocking it!!
Yes, Alex learned how to do this, too and has taken off. Never locked me out though! LOL.
I had those crazy knob things on the doors and for a long time, that worked. Then this past week he figured those out (and the deadbolt and the other lock).
So now I have to install locks on the top of the door so he doesn't take off again. Any time he sees or hears a bus/truck/semi/garbage truck go by, he bolts for the door to go look at them closer.
Sigh.... boys.
Can you email me your address?
