dont talk to me about babies and cars….
i shouldnt admit this as it was a complete T*WAT school boy error. only excuse is that it was the wifes car and im not used to fancy remote locking from the keyfob,
anyway… went shopping at local supermarket, pushing baby (15month old) back to car, pulled the car keys out, put them in my mouth to lift her out of trolley into car seat ( you can see where its going) as i lift her out she grabs the keys. (wife is filling boot with shopping)i buckle her into the car seat and shut the door at the exact same time wife shuts the boot…….. baby grins at me… then i hear the worst sound i have ever heard in my life… the contral locking being engaged!!!
the wife just looks at me and tears start to well up in her eyes, fear ive never felt before starts to rise in my gut. the baby still laughing, giggling to herself still holding the keys… wife storms off to call RAC crying… i just stare into the car tyring to coax her to press the butotn on the keys.. what seems like an hour the fear still building…. somehow she manages to click the butotn and i open the door…
i was seconds away from ‘somehow’ smashing the window.
leason learnt! (must get a second spare key aswell!)
