These past few weeks I’ve been getting in the habit of locking the car in the garage. Normally, we don’t do that. But for some reason, I’ve started doing it.

Perhaps it’s a gut feeling.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve seen those news reports where they tell us all about the three year old kid who took Mum and Dad’s car for a joy ride.

Perhaps, my son is just too clever. This is something I don’t need a lot of imagination for to see that Jaxon could be that child.

And it would be just my luck…to be THAT mother!

Jaxon is well and truly capable of going in to the garage undetected. He knows how to open the car. He knows what the keys do. He even knows how to open the garage door with the remote.

So yes. Now we lock the car and hide the keys away when we get home.

I’d rather my fifteen minutes of fame not come from Jaxon getting pulled over for speeding.
