Stuck in the car

March
Oh my gawd, has anyone seen “Flight Plan”? I had a terrible experience last week. I had lunch with my son and promptly went to the car and placed him in his seat like I normally do, now with cars that have central locking everyone knows that you can’t activate the central locking if a door is open. Well, our car did and I had no idea that the central locking was armed whilst the door was open. I also had no idea how I managed to trigger the central locking, but I do remember putting the keys on the seat, whilst my son was standing on the seat and then I put him in his car seat (which is in the middle). To try and not lose anything I placed my phone, wallet and the keys!!! on the passenger seat, grapped his fish toy and closed the door…I couldn’t believe I couldn’t open the door any doors or the hatch. The blasted 4wd was non-entry proof. I was shaking so much, I couldn’t think, it was only the calming effect of the shop owner that helped me think straight and call home ) which was 10mins away and ask for help to drop off the spare key!!!! How lucky was I to have someone at the house that couldn’t come and open the car door. Mind you I did feel like afterwards when I told people that it was hard for them to understand just how upset I was. My poor little boy saw me trying to get into the car and go really upset. Luckily I parked in the shade, I was so close to breaking the window to get in. Now I am so worried (without trying to show it) when I get in the car, I have the keys in my teeth and I have a window slightly down enough to be able to get in. I have never been in a situation like that where I was so helpless to get to my son. I urge everyone to check their cars central locking and try locking the car with a door open. I would hate it for others to experience what my son and I went through.
