locked out

As many of you are aware I take care of a two children during the day as well as an after school on three days a week. Well on Tuesday, I was with the kids outside playing, when the after schooler pushed Xander down. So I told him he needed to go into timeout. Well he did not want to go to time out and after some struggling words I decided to just let the kids go into the house and have the time out there. Well I put Zachary into the house and then went back out to get the other little boy and Xander. When the 5 year old went into the house and locked me out. Of course I did not have my keys. When I told the 5 year old to let me in, he said "no not until I said I was sorry, (for making him go into time out). I was furious. Zachary was inside and because of this child, I could not get to him. Then of course Xander starts ringing the doorbell and getting the dog barking so Zachary starts crying. And to top it all off, while all of this is going on, the nuns who live across the street are out doing yard work, and as I am yelling through the door at the kid, the nun is putting her leaves in the barrel at the end of the driveway, looks over at me, and says" a beautiful day isn't it?" And I just look at her and say "glorious." I finally went next door and they had a key to let me in. Well the moral of the story is never leave the house without my keys , and never put the 5 year old in time (not). What a joy children are. They are choice spirits of god right? Well I now can laugh about it so I think it is all good.
