  I woke up today to my parents' attempts to wake me up as they were locked out of the house [how did that happen? ] so my dad was ringing the doorbell [it's a novelty to him. he doesn't know how to ring it. ] and my mom is calling the home phones [I gave her my cell for some reason o.O]. all the while, both of them are banging on the door. I was "asleep". so after... let's say... 15 minutes of that, they decide to use the mail chute [what is that thing called, anyhow? ] to open the door like any average robber would. all of which begs the questions: 1. if they could open the door through the mail thing, why didn't they do it earlier? 2. how is it that they have locked the door from the outside and yet don't have keys? my parents are confusing people... -_-
