Last summer I put a new latch on the chicken coop the kind that a long piece of wood pivots on a long nail and latched on the outside of the coop. ??? Well my smart alic 9 year old asked what would happen if it swung locked when you walked in? I told him that that would never happen but also said that I guess we're gonna have to bring a cell phone in the coop with us.......... Well............
this morning (and the first time) I got locked in our coop, it was the funniest thing. The stinken latch swung shut just like my 9 year old said it would. I was in the coop and didn't even know till I went to walk out and pushed the door and then splatted into the door cause it didn't move. I stood there for a second like
Then I remembered....... when my 9 year old made that comment my 6 year old said that he could get out and wanted us to lock him in. so of course we did, we were curoius as to how this "6" year old was going to pull off this magic trick. and he did too. we locked him in and he got out in 2.2 sec. you see he was to only one that could see that there was a hole straight through the door right under the latch. He stuck his finger through the hole flipped up the latch.
all I have to say is "I Thank God that he made kids short"
