Before I begin, please keep in mind that things do not always work as they are expected to, and flexibility is a skill that must quickly be developed... a lesson Taryn got the chance to relearn last night.
You see, she was doing a very normal thing: going to the bathroom in our new home at the Assumption Sisters Convent. The problem occurred when she tried to leave said bathroom: the door wouldn't unlock. I don't mean like it was kind of stuck, and she just needed to push a little bit or turn the key a little harder, she was stuck. We tried everything imagineable to get her out: a credit card, vaseline, a screwdriver, pliers, a nail file, a hammer, and the actual key. Nothing worked. The door wouldn't budge. Finally, one of the sisters came, looked at us like we were crazy white people all crowded around the bathroom door talking to Taryn and then proceeded to try all of the tools we had already found useless. After about an hour and a half of our frustrated, yet hilarious efforts, the sister came back with a crowbar and basically broke down the door: Taryn was free.
If at any point during the week you feel sad, just picture a nun walking down the hall in her nightgown with a crowbar and a pair of pliers, it will undoubtedly brighten your day. :)
