Fish Food and Garage Door Openers

Today I received a call from my eldest son Shayne. He left the city to be with his wife in Calgary and had a wee little dilemma, he forgot to feed the fish. I said that I would go shopping and buy the fish food which lasts a week (I never knew such a thing existed), then I went over to my sons house.

I went up to the garage door, found the keypad, entered the numbers and waited. Nothing happened. I tried again, still nothing. My niece was with me and suggested we might have the wrong house. I insisted we were at the right house and tried one more time. Still nothing so I walked around to the front of the house and realized only then that I was indeed at the wrong house. I looked down the street and had gone two houses too far.

Embarrassed, I backed up my car and parked this time in the proper driveway. I tried the pad and lo and behold the door opened! I then went to open the door, the key didn't fit! I walked to the front door and tried the key there and it still didn't fit. I gave up and called my son. Shayne asked me what color the key was, I told him silver. Oops, the locks had been changed! I left the fish food (which I had purchased ample of) and left the poor starving fish to fend for themselves.

Shayne was going to Fedex me a key but as it turned out my daughter-in-laws mother will be home from her holiday tomorrow and will go over and feed the fish. The fish will be saved by their other Gramma!
