A long day!

It's a long story to say what happened today. First, I got a prize in the Durham Technical Community College's freshman festival. After practicing three times in the line,I threw 3 balls into the hole and got the plush puppy. Next, I waited for the children to come home, and prepared their snacks. Then I accompanied them to the playground. I was in such a hurry that I mistook the car key to the doorkey. Therefore, we were locked outside! wow!! That was silly of me to do such a thing!

Anyway,I asked Claire's mom for help. If it had happened during office hours,we could have gone to the office and gotten the key.But It was twenty past five,we had to find the man working for the company to get the key for us. She took me to find the man who could get our doorkey from the office. He lives just upstairs and faces our door. We were unlucky,he was not at home. His back hurt and was in the emergency room at the hospital. All we could do is wait and wait. I went to ask if he had come home in the next every 3 hours. He still hadn't come back at 9:00pm. Finally,his wife said "have you ever used a card to open the door?" I have no key, but let's try" Therefore, the woman put a credit card into the gap of the door. She moved the card upward and downward, suddenly, it opened! Only took 1 second! Awesome !!

We have to thank all the neighbors taking care of us. Claire's mom gave us four snack packages and two bottles of water. Miss Wang drove us for dinner in Macdonald's. We stayed in Miss She's house and had had sweet fruit after dinner. The four amazing woman unlocked the door for us. The old Chinese saying "you depend on the parents at home, but you depend on friends outside of home" "Good neighbers are better than relatives".

At least, we were safe and secure at home and saved $60 on the locksmith now.
