While pumping gas, I did not lock my van with the keys still in the ignition and Skippy buckled in his car seat.
I didn't realize it as soon as I shut the door and then ask Skippy to get unbuckled (he can't) & unlock the door. My request was not answered with a shoulder shrug and a "Sorry, I can't!" He did not go on eating his lunch that was to be eaten on the way to our grocery store!
I didn't have to use the gas station's private phone to call my parents (who live maybe 2mi. from the gas station) & ask them to go to my house & get every key with a remote & bring it to the gas station.
Then I didn't have to stand beside my van, in the cold, checking on Skippy & watching the road for their vehicle.
And Skippy certainly did not start crying when he realized that, after his lunch was gone, that he really couldn't get out & that I really couldn't get in.
And we were definitely not happy when the key to my van arrived & we could go on our way, thankful it happened close to home & not at our destination!
Because of the delay, I did not end up waiting behind the bus while Peter Pan got off, hoping the bus driver did not know who I was!

Stopping by from MckMama's!
What a scary post... you're the SECOND person I've heard of in teh past few days who has done this (a friend in real life locked her 18 month old son in her car last week!). At least you know your child is secure in his car seat!

I used to work at a day care where a mom did that by accident and she was so upset. The baby was fine until his mom freaked out and then he went berserk, crying and screaming and holding his breath. It was a scary hour or so until Dad showed up with those keys--and the car was actually running the whole time. Love the name of your blog!
