The reason for door locks

Ivey has discovered that she can open doors.  Drat.  For the most part, normal doorknobs are still a little tricky, but can be done with enough work.  The front door here has a level type handle, which is simple as pie for that little girl.  We have to put a lock on it, but haven't found the right one just yet.

The other day, I had given both girls baths downstairs.  I dressed Olive, but I didn't have a diaper or clothes for Ivey.  I wrapped her in a towel, set her on the couch, and went upstairs to quickly grab the clothes.  When I flew back down the stairs, the only thing on the couch was an empty towel.  I yelled around looking for her, then I saw the door was cracked.  I didn't see her out there.  In a tiny panic, I went around to the back of the house.  There, standing in all of her stark whiteness, was a very naked Ivey.  It had been raining, and she informed me that she was "jumping in puddles" because it makes her "warm".  .

Yeah.  Doubt that.
