A while ago a friend of mine asked me to give her a ride to church. I was happy to pick her up. We were having stake conference and because we now have a very very active 1 yr old we decided that Rocky should go early to save us a padded seat where we could BLOCK the boy in. So James and I dropped Rocky off at the church and went home to get a few things and then off to pick up my friend.
When I got to her house she didn't come out like she normally does so I jumped out of the car not realizing that I had pushed the lock every so slightly enough to lock the door but to also look unlocked. With the car running I ran up to the door and knocked. Finally my friend came to the door and said that she wasn't going to be able to make it. Bummer. So I ran back to the car to find my door locked. No worries - I thought I'll just try another door. After trying all the doors I started to worry. They were all locked. My baby was inside and he started to cry. Luckily I wasn't too far from home (.4 miles according to google, an 2 min drive or 8 min walk) so I ran - unluckily my shoe choice didn't help with the run. Luckily I was going on pure adrenaline so it wasn't too bad when my shoes kept flying off my feet.
I got home and grabbed the second set of keys and luckily Rocky's car was home so I sped back over. I got up to the car and started pressing the unlock button and nothing happened. At this point both James and I are freaking out. Luckily the car was running so I knew that he wouldn't get too hot. So I went in the house to call a locksmith. Luckily my friend's dad was home and said -"let me see your keys for a minute." He walked outside and opened my door.
I was so used to unlocking my door with the key pad that I hadn't even thought of trying the key to the door. Oh man was I so grateful. And LUCKILY we made it to church right before the meeting started.

This is one of my nightmares. I taught Tyler at a really young age to unlock the doors but it doesn't help when he was buckled in and couldn't get out to unlock it!
How scary!!! Glad it all worked out in the end. .... And of course I was giggling when all your friend's dad had to do was use the key in the door. he he :) DOH!
YIKES!!! I didn't ever hear this story. That would have scared the crap out of me too. Oh how we have lost our minds as mothers. I would have done the very same thing struggling to get the car opened and not even thinking of using the key like the good old days. Glad it all worked out.
