The three year old was sitting around half the morning planning in his head how to get that door unlocked so he could roam the neighborhood.
Playing with his toys, he bided his time...looked innocent while he silently plotted his escape...
At long last, it comes!!! Sixty seconds to freedom!! Since he had done all that planning beforehand, he already had the tools necessary to get a door unlocked and un-deadbolted. Didn't take him more than, oh...5 seconds.
And then, because he was so considerate and didn't want his 1 year old sibling to escape unprotected into the wild (or maybe he just didn't want any company in his escapades), he remembered to shut the door.
All that in the space of less than sixty seconds!!! The kid is a genius!
Or maybe that "less than one minute" was really ten or fifteen or twenty minutes.
I'm sorry...about the only people I would trust to have a fairly accurate idea of passing time are football quarterbacks.
