Thank goodness it was a Sunday and mom AND DAD were home! It was the type of door knob with the little piece you turn to lock and unlock. That just kept spinning and spinning and doing nothing. So I had to holler and pound to get anyone to listen to me.

Finally Dad walked down the hallway and figured out what I was saying. Had me try a couple things, nope, not working. That house was a ranch, all one floor. Dad got his ladder, screwdriver and maybe one other thing (can't remember), then he climbed in the bathroom window, removed the entire door knob, and ta dah! We were out. I remember feeling funny being IN the bathroom with my Dad - I was a 14 year old girl, remember, ha haaa. Dad fixed it and put the SAME knob on! I was afraid of getting stuck in there again for a LONG time, when he was at work. Had to lock the door, I had a baby (pest) brother! LOL
