Please Lock Them

Here is a simple reminder.

Donna’s great-niece came to stay with us last night. It is so wonderful being near family again. Donna and Stephanie were going to visit Stephanie’s great-grandmother today.

Stephanie is a wonderful child. At 10 she is a genuine joy. Happy, helpful, trustworthy. She has never gotten into anything at our home and always asks if she wants something.

Still, before she arrived, I put locks in our guns.

We don’t frequently have children in the house and we like having the option of effective home defense. So, it was a hassle and took a few minutes.

Stephanie would never rummage around in my sock drawer or reach up on a high self in Aunt Donna’s closet. But we always lock the guns.

Just a reminder.
