I'm locked out of the toilet.

*sigh*

The perils of living with a toddler.

So am I supposed to dismantle the door handles, or what? I see that going horribly wrong very quickly.

I recommend eating candy or icecream, while making sure the evil Bunny knows it...

Lure then pounce.

And if that fails, you have candy and icecream, so all cannot be bad.

Ah, I failed to make myself clear.

Bunny's out here with me.

Had she been barricading herself in, the situation would have been resolved with the application of chocolate within minutes.

Now I'm REALLY curious.

How does the door work?

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Just ordinary round ones that you turn clockwise to open.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

and the bit where it got locked?

[sarren.livejournal.com]

oh, um the locky bit is one of those sticky out-thingies in the middle of the handle that you turn sideways.

I'm not really helping, am I?

Ah but you *are* providing valued entertainment.

We've smashed our back door key in the lock and had to dissect the whole thing four times now.

[sigh]

You can usually get the things off with a screwdriver - just put the screws in something immediately!

Ah but you *are* providing valued entertainment.

Yes, I somehow thought I might be.

Story of my life, really.

Is this any help?

"Put a privacy lock on bathroom doors and maybe on bedroom doors. This is the type that locks from one side with a button or thumb turn. It can be unlocked by poking a toothpick or similar object through the hole on the other side."

So Dragonfly just told me :)

Over the phone. Cos she's watching Atlantis over at Emma & Trille's so she won't be home for HOURS.

I've killed a skewer trying, so far.

*sigh*

I wonder if a good old fashioned bobby pin (bent straightish) would work?

Aww, good luck. If you end up having to undo the whole doorknob here's a guide:

I don't think I own a bobby pin. How odd of me.

Thank you for the link. You rock with the internet research :)

[ice-ice-vovo.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm just used to the credo of my profession. We never, ever say'I don't know', we say 'I will find out' and then come up with the information. Or go and find someone who does have the information.

No bobby pin? How about a straightened out paper clip?

[hopefulnebula]

Or a Q-tip broken in half. That's what we use.

[sarren.livejournal.com]

What's a Q tip?


Also, hello *waves*

[psycho-tabby.livejournal.com]

Oh dear.

*goes and has a look at a toilet door* Best of luck! :P

If you break it, a new handle couldn't cost to much would they?
