The Key Dilemma

I had a messed up moment today. I just locked my keys inside a room.

I don't have any spare keys. I was trying to be really calm even if I had no idea which room I locked it into since there are two rooms I just locked.

So I decided to check on the window of the first room. Just my luck, it was right there lying innocently on my bed. The window I was peering in was some 7 feet high so I needed to stand on three chairs.

Now what do I do.

I looked around the house, still staying unbelievably calm, and found a hanger and a rope. I wished it would work then but the hanger kept missing the friggin' keys!

Next plan comes with a mop. This is good. I'd pretend I'm fishing though I never really done that before. It didn't work. The hanger was always askew and still kept missing the blasted keys.

Next, I've had this better idea of putting something extra sticky on something and let the keys get stuck on it. It wasn't gum that I found but some weird duct tape I found lying around. I placed in on a spatula from the kitchen. It worked but it didn't because as I was pulling the rope, the stubborn keys was dragged inside the blanket I just crumpled like a paper this morning.

I'm going to set this blanket on fire.

Sweat and dirt I was, I went back to the hanger and swung it on the blanket so it gets hooked on it and the damn keys would reappear. Cursing, I saw the keys again.

Now, the keys are much bit closer than it used to, I used the hanger to get it and got rid of the spatula. And there, hanging in mid-air on the hanger's hook tied to a rope and looped in a filthy mop were my good keys.

Don't think I lost it again. I got it finally.
