Everyday with a two-year-old is an adventure.
My husband is a salesman and works from home frequently. He's set up an office in one of our spare bedrooms. In order to decrease the amount of chaos my child can create, we keep his office door closed and locked. The previous owners left a small Allen wrench on the door frame as a key. Since we are so short and it is used often, we keep the key on the light switch outside the door.
Today, my mini MacGyver pulled her step-stool out into the hallway, stole the "key" off the light switch and proceeded to attempt to unlock the door. However, she instead succeeded in shoving the entire Allen wrench into the lock hole. She came to get me babbling something about a key and daddy's "ossice" and led me to the scene of the crime (she's not yet good at hiding the evidence).
First, I tried to use tweezers to free the "key", but they didn't fit into the hole. I found some needle-nosed pliers, and then proceeded to search for a flashlight (another one of my little one's favorite things to steal). I couldn't find a flashlight, so I ended up using a book light instead. Fortunately, the needle-nosed pliers were a success and I was able to free the "key" and save the day.
And all this before 9am. It's going to be a long day.
