The Day I Was Locked In By Asher (a guest post)
“Asher, I need to go to the bathroom. Will you stay out of trouble?”
“Why, Por Por?”
“Why do I have to go to the bathroom or why do you have to stay out of trouble?”
“Why?”
Sigh, “Firstly, I have to pee and secondly if you get into trouble you know what is going to happen to you.”
“What?”
“Oh never mind, just do not get into trouble and wait for me in the room.”
Door closed.
“Por Por, open the door.”
“What is the password?”
“Open sesame!”
“Wrong, try again.”
“Abracadabra!”
“Wrong, try again.”
“I don’t know.”
Silence…….
“Asher.”
“Ash………er!”
Job done and I tried to open the bathroom door. The door was jam shut and I couldn’t open the door.
At the top of my voice, “ASHER……”
Silence.
Panic…..
“Tri..eeeeee!” “Tri……eeeeeeee!”
After what seemed liked forever, Tri answered, and came to my rescue.
Went out to look for Asher and found him in the sitting room, hiding behind the sofa.
“Asher, why did you lock the door?”
“Asher locked Por Por in and went hide, hee, hee.”
“Asher, you are in great trouble!”
I dare not imagine what will happen if I were alone with him in the house when this happened. Do you remember that the bathroom in Bauji’s room has a dead lock which cannot be opened from inside the bathroom? The other door which opens to the back-yard is blocked by all sorts of things and therefore unable to be opened too. The TERRIBLE TWO has begun.
It has indeed — it’s the little menace’s birthday tomorrow (today in Singapore) and he’s bringing it home in style. I think as a general rule my mother ought to avoid being in the house alone with Asher, don’t you? ;-)

Oh dear.
That sounds like something my brother would do when he was little. My mom always kept the big freezer in the garage locked in fear that Eddie would throw one of the cats inside.

Throw one of the cats inside! Now I’m afraid to meet Eddie. ;-)
