Funny story! Once when I was babysitting -- three children, two girls of ages 6-7 and 4-5 I believe plus a baby boy of the age (~1) where you had to carry the little dude everywhere -- one of the girls shut the door and we got locked out of the house. Now, there were plenty of times I broke into my own house, so I wasn't really too worried - I figured I'd just jimmy out a screen, toss one of the tiny little girls in there, and have her open the door. So I'm standing at the front window, trying to pop a screen with one hand, because the other hand is holding a 1-year-old baby on my hip, one of the girls is hopping up and down because she has to pee --
and a cop drives by and stops in front of the house to give me the eyeball.
BECAUSE, YES, OFFICER, I'M TRYING TO BREAK INTO THIS HOUSE WITH TWO CHILDREN AND A BABY IN BROAD FUCKING DAYLIGHT. I'M GOING TO ROB A HOUSE AT 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH A BABY.
Needless to say, after a couple seconds the situation must have looked a little less suspicious to him, because he drove away. And I managed to pop the screen, open the window, and hoist Kelsey in there to let the rest of us in.
Needless to say, I was pretty damn careful after that!
