Locked In

It's 9:42am and Mae is at work while I sit at home typing this. Here's a puzzle for you:

My house keys are in the car.

I'm in the house.

Mae is in her office. And her house keys are in her office with her.

How do I get to work?

One of my biggest fears has come to life - getting locked in. Somehow, I've always had this coming. I've always known this would happen to either one of us. I am absent-minded. Mae is even worse. Our home is the absent-mind capital of the world. One day we're gonna leave Baby somewhere and forget to bring him home. Hahahh.

Luckily, I live 5 minutes away from my office. Right now, the calvary is on its way. My wonderful colleague is on his way to save the day.

    That's exactly what Mae did when I called her today, oliviasy! I think she probably laughed her head off. :lol:
    You bet, reader. There's always some benefit to working near home! :)
    Thanks for those words of comfort, Rachel. :lol:

    Ack. I guess you'll just need to get two extra sets of keys to be kept in the house, just to be safe. ;) And then, don't forget where you keep them! Under the fifth step!

    All kinds of weird things happen in our house, Kurang Asam! :)
    That, Strizzt, or I'll need to save up to install a retinal-scan door locking system! :) If my head weren't attached. I swear I'd forget that too!

    when keys are stuck in the car and cannot open the door. stick a long ruler down the side of the window, through the rubber seal that acts as a rubber seal, on the same side as where the lock is. Push it all the way down until the lock pops open.
    bear in mind that i dunno whether this still works with the mordern cars.
