Story of the day

Ronin fell asleep after playgroup today. Once he was asleep mom and Celena went outside to get something from the car. Mom and Celena locked themselves out of the house w/ Ronin asleep upstairs. Mom proceeded to call her neighbor and ask her for the extra key. Neighbor said you took the key back several months ago. Mom started to sweat. Mom realized that there was nothing she could do. She was locked out and had to call the Fire department. She said there was a baby in a crib locked inside the house. Within 5 minutes 4 police cars, and a fire truck come screeching down the block. The fireman (in a very nice outfit my mom cared to note) asked my mom which window might be opened a tad in order to avoid breaking one - my mom chose the upstairs bathroom as the optimal place to enter. As the fireman was putting the ladder against the house - she noticed that her 8 lbs poodle was running around the backyard. The poodle is never let out w/o supervision. She realized that the patio door was left open and that is how the dog got out. She stopped the fireman after he had reached the window and said the patio door is open - Omig-d! My mom then started to cry in embarrassment. She said my son-in-law is in Japan and my daughter works full time for Reader's Digest and I am very overwhelmed. I am so sorry. The fireman said that as a matter of protocol he had to check on the baby. At this point the neighbor had made it down the street in her housecoat to see if anyone needed medical attention. The fireman said that Ronin was ass-up asleep in the crib without a care in the world. When the fireman came down the stairs she had already poured them all some lemonade and apologized that it wasn’t sugar lemonade as she was a diabetic and it was only crystal light. She then pulled some cookies out of the freezer and offered them all a small nosh.
