locked in the bathroom
Yesterday morning, I got locked in my parents' bathroom. I hadn't even locked the door. When I tried to open it, the doorknob turned and the latch didn't move.
I figured that if my parents gave me a screwdriver I could take the pins out of the hinges to get out. My dad didn't like that idea. I wasn't sure how they'd get a screwdriver into the bathroom anyhow.
Instead, they passed me a putty knife. Do you remember those metal plates they have next to doorknobs to prevent break-ins? The bathroom doesn't have one of those to prevent break-outs. In less than a minute, I'd worked the putty knife into the gap and freed myself.
I suggested that they leave the putty knife in the bathroom just in case. My dad declined. He's been meaning to fix that doorknob....
On a side note, there is a bacon factory on fire in Cudahy, WI (Patrick Cudahy). This morning, people smelled a mix of smoke, ammonia, and bacon.
