I have gone through so many different sorts of locks to keep this girl in her tent. This is to get her some sleep, and to avoid silent disasters that happen when I don’t know she is awake. The latest lock — a wire with a twisty lock was very effective for two weeks. But for the last four days, I’ve put Pippi down to bed, and ten minutes later, she is out and telling me, “I not tired anymore!” So today, as I put her down to bed, I waited outside the room. I heard rustling and maneuvering. And then I opened the door and said, “Caught Ya!”
Then she gave me the play by play.
Apparently, she puts her long and lean fingers through the teeny hole between zippers. Then she does this (she shows me her fingers twisting the locking part of it). Then she gets her foot in the hole that just got bigger. Finally, she pushes on one side with her foot until it opens.
Very crafty my girl.
But do you dare using those long and lean fingers to open up a safety pin?
