Everyone's locked their keys in the car one time or another, and a friend of mine said "That's another perk of biking!" Well, most of us can still fail there.

This is what my daughter wrote on our family mailing list today.

Now we fast-forward to the part where Mom has to work at the lab and Dad and I biked home- three miles from Mom's lab-and we found a new problem: Dad forgot his keys, including the one to his house, and the garage remote opener. Dad managed to open the screen of one window and I managed to push open the window. Dad took the screen off and I broke and entered in my own house. The moral of this story is to NEVER EVER be smart enough to lock your doors if you are going to forget your keys.
In my defense, I did tell her it was not as far away as ____ ____ (a place she biked to once) but a little further away than her school. And would you believe...I came back to the lab tonight and forgot, yes, you guessed it, the lab key!! (Security let me in.)
