Oops

In a home with three children age three and younger (oh yeah and two adults) who do you think would be responsible for the first major damage to the brand new house? One of the kids? Crayons on the wall, perhaps? Or a hole in the wall caused by careless use of a toy? Certainly it wouldn't be one of the responsible, ever-so-careful adults. Not possible!

Or...er...maybe it is possible.

Step 1: Open car door for preschooler to climb in
Step 2: Close door
Step 3: Don't notice that the garage door opener release is closed in car door
Step 4: Start car and back up
Step 5: Hear loud scrape
Step 6: Feel resistance
Step 7: See husband at door to house with bewildered look on his face
Step 8: Exit car to find out WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED
Step 9: Notice released garage door closed slightly before you were able to get out of the garage
Step 10: Subsequently notice the dent in the garage door and the bent track preventing said garage door from going up (or down or anywhere for that matter)
Step 11: Leave preschooler buckled into car, go inside to tend to other small children while no-longer-bewildered husband fixes the problem
Step 12: Apologize to said husband over and over for breaking the new house
Step 13: Back out of garage (again) very very slowly
Step 14: Go to work to pay for repairs to garage door
