Seven things Dad didn’t know (before this morning)

I did have a nice shiny new post all ready to go today, but I’ll hold off, as events overtook me. (And I’ve heard these listicle things do well!)

Will of course get around to describing the whole palaver in a blow-by-blow way, but for now, here are seven things that I didn’t know before this morning:

1. There was a key in the lock of Mimi’s room.

2. She knew how to lock the door.

3. She didn’t know how to unlock it.

4. My vocabulary of swear words is VAST!

5. I am physically incapable of kicking in a door.

6. Locksmiths are expensive.

7. I can find myself in need of a stiff drink before 10am.
