Escape the Kid Room

The facts were these:

• Liam and Dash's doorknob was reversed when we moved in and we left it that way. 
• Three nights ago, Sean got home as the kids were getting ready for bed.
• We all gathered in the twins' room and someone shut the door.
• We could not open it.
• !
• Someone must have turned the lock sometime that day, which locked it once the door was shut.
• We tried to MacGyver our way out for about 45 minutes, hoping to flip the lock or unhinge the door, but we just didn't have anything in the room that could manage the job.
• We called a nearby friend who came over, with her kids, so she could come inside and unlock us.
• The house door was locked. She couldn't get in.
• !
• But the garage was still open! Some tools were in there.
• Sean broke open the window screen. (we think it's fixable...)
• Our friend tied a hammer and screwdriver to a string (we happened to have in the room) which was tied to the fan cord (in order to reach far enough) and we hitched them up.
• We wiped the sweat from our brow since the fan was no longer plugged in. HOT ROOM.
• We removed the hinge pegs first. Door wouldn't budge. Strong lock.
• We unscrewed the door handle and wiggled the pieces around...
• It unlocked!
• We removed the entire door and at last found freedom.

Lesson: Keep a screwdriver in the twins' room.
