Where are the Keys?

This weekend something interesting happened. My Hubby and I went to Flagstaff on Saturday, as I had to take a test. We reached there on time. We were sitting in the car waiting for other people to get inside the examination hall as the doors were closed at that time and there was a long line.

At 8:00 a.m. the door of the examination hall opened and the people started to go inside and when there was no line, we decided to get out of our car. I said, "Let's go ", my hubby said, "Okay", and both of us got out of the car at the same time, and I locked the door before getting out and shut the door, the moment my door had reached its proper place my hubby shouted, "O! my keys".

Did you guess what happened, yeah you are right, we locked our car while the keys were inside the car. Now what to do. Usually I keep one spare key in my purse, but since I was going to take the test, I had left my purse in the car. I was very worried, we tried to open the door, but it didn't move at all. I was getting late for the test, so my hubby said, " You go inside, I will find some way out. Don't worry."

When my hubby says I will find some way out, then it means he will. I have a great confidence in him. Still, I was worried during my exam a bit about what will he do , and because of our carelessness, this thing happened. When I got out of my exam hall, my hubby said it opened, I asked how, he said it's a long story. First relax a bit then I will tell.

What he told me was, that after I left he met a colleague of his, who told his boss was also in Flagstaff, so my hubby called his boss and told him his problem. His boss is really a kind and compassionate person. He told him to look into a directory and find a number of a locksmith and call him. My hubby found the number and called a locksmith who was AAA certified. Locksmith opened the car in few seconds, and he asked for $40 as his fees. My hubby was about to pay the bill, then he remembered that he was a member of AAA, so he asked the guy that are you AAA certified and he said,"yes, Are you a member of AAA?", then my hubby said yes and showed him the membership card and so he said he will charge his fees from AAA and my hubby doesn't have to pay anything.

AAA is a really good company and I would like to add that few days ago I had renewed the membership of AAA, in spite of my husband's statement, that don't waste money on it , we never use it. So, my husband was thankful to me that I didn't listen to him and did what was right.


I don't know why such things keep happening to us. It's really strange.
