What's the story behind a time when you got locked out?
funny story and totally not my fault. when my sister was little (she was probably about 3 or 4 years old at the time), our parents only let us play within their sight, which meant on the balcony. so one especially hot and humid summer day, i had my sister in her little kiddie pool on the balcony. we draped a towel over 2 lawn chairs so we had some shade. our parents peeked out to tell us they were running out for a quick errand and then they'd be right back. they slid the door shut to keep the cool air in the apartment and were gone. after about 10 minutes, my sister and i were hot and bored. i tried to open the sliding door and found that i couldn't open it no matter how hard i pulled. out of habit, my dad had locked the door.
we huddled under the sliver of shade and tried not to think about the dripping sweat getting in our eyes. 30 minutes is a long time when all you can think about it ice water and popsicles. it took our parents came home and it took about a minute for them to figure out where we were. they were horrified for a whole 2 seconds and then couldn't stop laughing.
