No Keys, No Phone, No Entrance

On a gorgeous March afternoon in Austin, Texas - a husband and wife decide to take their toddler daughter to the neighborhood park.  They strap the little girl into the BOB stroller, throw on shorts and sandals- because it is THAT nice out, grab the wife's set of keys, turn the door lock from inside and slam the door shut.  They go on their merry way soaking up the sun.  Hair gently blowing as the cool breeze accompanies them.  Smiles and laughter are had at the park.  An hour later the family decides its time to head home. 

The wind kicks up a bit on their way back home and a noticeable chill in the air has arrived.  Happy to be back at the house - The husband takes the keys from his pocket and goes to open the front door.  But to no avail.  The once smiling, loving look he gave his wife quickly turns to a scowl.  The sudden realization that the house key is not on the wife's key chain (because she has given it to the nanny to have during the day). 

No keys, no cell phones, No f'n way....

After several failed attempts - breaking into the house was not an option . That bit*ch is a fortress!  Begrudgingly the husband sheepishly walks over to the neighbors house and asks to borrow their phone to call for some help.  By now the sun was setting and cold night air was setting in - Trying to keep warm and baby occupied the mom and baby looped their neighborhood roughly 1000 times.  The father passed time by throwing a ball up on the roof (probably pretending it was his wife's head).  Close to an hour later and countless curse words Will #2453 from Pop a Lock came to their rescue.  Within 10 minutes the front door was opened and the family was back in their home, $60 poorer. 

On a gorgeous March afternoon in Austin, Texas, I locked my family out of our house.

Locked Out!
