Locked out.

Luke has discovered how to lock doors. At first, this new skill was only used on his bedroom door. Luckily, he has a jack-and-jill bathroom that adjoins to the other bedroom upstairs, so Mom and Dad always have an alternate route for entering. However, he's decided to apply his technical expertise to the master bedroom door downstairs. Small problem ... there's only one way in and out there ... no back-up plan. The first day he mastered the "lock-out" Jami was able to find the humor in it. She tried to unlock the door using various means, but to no avail. So she had to complete dismantle the door knob and remove it to get the door open. Luke received a short lecture about not locking the doors. We thought that was the end of the silly game.Nope. The next day Luke exercised his right to lock the door again. This time Mom didn't find it nearly as humorous, while Luke didn't find the fun in the extended time-out period in his room following the lock-out. Let's hope the lesson is learned on both accounts -- no more random lock-outs for Luke and that Mom and Dad fix the doorknob so he is unable to lock it going forward.
