One morning Matt was outside cleaning off our van. He came in and said, "There is something wrong with the locks on the van. I unlocked it and then it beeped and locked." He went back out to explore the problem and I followed. He unlocked and opened the door and sure enough it beeped to lock again. Then it beeped again. Matt was thoroughly frustrated by now and I headed back in the house. There was Benjamin, sitting at the kitchen table, pushing the lock and unlock buttons on the other key for the van and looking very pleased with himself having tricked Dad.
