OUR EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE
OUR EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE
Our grandson who is eight is here for a few days this
summer. Today he went out the front door
to play outside. He played a bit then
decided to go to the back yard. After he
was done playing he came to the back door which was locked. We keep our doors locked unless we are going
in and out. Anyway I could hear him at
the back door jiggling on the door knob.
The next thing I know the door is opening. He came over to me and asked if I knew how he
got in. I said no. He held up a piece of plastic that goes on
the bottom of the rain gauge that we have not yet installed and said, “You left
the key out there”. Of course papa and I
right away had him show us how he unlocked the door. Come to find out our back door knob is a
bathroom or bedroom door knob. We always
just lock it from the inside and knew we didn’t have a key and never even
looked at the knob itself. It was just
one of those that you can probably even use your thumb nail to open. We have lived here 2 ½ years and never
checked that. Needless to say we hopped
into the car and went to home depot and papa is installing a knob with a key. I texted my grandsons parents and told them
that he possibly saved us from a break in or maybe even our lives. Now I wonder what other security measures we
have overlooked. I thank God for
watching over us these past 2 ½ years.
Keeping our home safe while we went on vacation and who knows what
else. Please check your locks on entry
doors even if you don’t have keys. Make
sure they are actual entry way locks. I don’t
know who in their right mind would put that type of knob on an entry way door. But it’s obvious that we never checked it.
Then to top it off.
On the way to home depot our grandson found two hidden compartments in
our car that we had never known about.
I’m wondering what is next?
