I'm glad you managed to make the best out of being locked out of the house, even if it was hurtful sometimes. You reminded me of a time when I was locked out, but I was an adult and it was my own house! A new lock we'd put on because the old one broke basically was a poor design. The night lock fell down meaning I couldn't get in, not even with a key. Fortunately, I'd left an upstairs bathroom window ajar, so managed to get a ladder over to the window, squeeze in the window and open the door. We changed the lock again and made sure it was a different design so that couldn't happen again.
