We're gonna need a bigger door...

[pyat]

So. 10:35 PM. Sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the Canada Day fireworks to stop so I can go to bed.

I hear a "click, click" at the front door - the sound of the bolt being drawn. I stand up, and I hear the bolt hastily being slid back in place. I step into the hallway, and there is my 2-year-old, in her footie pajamas, on tip toes, with a sippy cup gripped in her teeth, closing and locking the front door.

Time to get a deadbolt on the doorframe, several feet off the ground...

See, this is how to work it: first you need sensors on the doors and windows, to keep your precious kids safe. Then, you need a centralized monitor for them. And automatic deadbolts. And then, since you're rewiring the house anyhow, that's when the computer-targeted dart guns loaded with animal tranqs go in, and then you build the turret with the lightning cannon! And and.. and..

Yeah, a deadbolt would be better. But think about the motion sensor, too. That one seems to have a death wish..
