It really was an odd situation - we had litterally closed on a new house that morning (in the same community we've been living in for the past 18-months). She and the kids were exploring the new home while I went to work to try and pay for the mortgage note I had just signed shocked . There were no phone books or internet connections in the house that she could use to look up a locksmith. She couldn't leave the house with the 2-year old trapped, and she also had to look after our 4-year old who was in the house as well.


My original estimate, not that I have any right to judge, was that she did better than some. There are some real pieces of work out there who have royally fornicated with the football in less stressful situations. Given the further revelation of context I think she did as well as anyone had any reason to expect. Without tools, previous knowledge, and backup, unable to leave, she didn't have many options and did quite well.
