I got a text from Illi today saying she had left her keys at home. I told her to see if Declan had his. The answer was negative.
This came about as Sean was the last out of the house today and locked the door, therefore the kids didn't need a key in the morning and neither thought to pick up their key for the afternoon!
As I am traveling with someone else at the moment (allowed to drive again on Friday YAY!) I had no control over when I got home. I told Illi to let themselves onto the back verandah and play with the cats and do homework until I got home.
When I got home I didn't see the kids and thought they must still have been on the back verandah. I turned the key in the front door (but it was already unlocked) and found the kids inside! They had Macgyvered themselves in using a cat toy, a mop, a piece of cardboard and some long skinny limbs!
Amazing the ingenuity they have when they need it! In an academic educational setting, this would be described as an open ended problem showing real-world application of problem solving abilities and lateral thinking!
Should I fear for their possible future careers?
