It was just another Wednesday. My MIL had come over the watch the babies and I took the big kids to piano lessons. We returned home and all was well. Libby stepped outside, my MIL gathered her things and prepared to leave. Then Libby started pounding on the door. Someone had locked her out and she was mad. I went to unlock the doorknob but it wasn't locked and yet I couldn't turn it. Everyone gave it a go but the knob refused to turn. After five futile minutes of trying to turn it I went and got a screwdriver. It only took me a couple of minutes to get the knob off but it took me another five minutes to get the latch out of the door jamb.

This is what the door looked like for 24 hours. We had to keep the deadbolt locked to keep the door shut.
Occasionally people ended up locked outside. The big kids learned to cope.
