07/25/2002 Entry: "Lessons in Idiocy"

Step One: Revelling in your new mobility, pack up the baby and go to the zoo.
Step Two: Spend the whole day there, running around and having a blast.
Step Three: Trudge back to the car, exhausted to the marrow of your bones, and drive home. The baby will fall asleep before you even leave the zoo parking lot.
Step Four: At home, park the car. Open your purse. Suddenly remember your house keys being flung to the floor of the bathroom in the zoo during a fit of diaper-changing pique.
Step Five: Sigh heavily. Pray for the ability to teleport.
Step Six: Drive the whole way back to the zoo to get your keys.

Well, not since I got the new car. I still have all the car keys (spares and all) on one chain; I was planning to weed my regular key set before consolidating them. Yeah, I know. But it worked out in the end, at least.

You don't have your keys all on one keychain!?

Oh Man that totally bites!!! Been there though (close)... last time we went to the zoo, got to the car and the keys were inside. It was my SIL's van and I wasn't waiting, so I got a stick from a tree, reached in and popped the lockes... we now carry that stick in the stroller ;-)
