The automatic door can't come soon enough

If this morning is any indication, we really need to get an automatic door, which we are getting.

When I leave in the morning, I ask someone to help me with the door and my niece or nephew complies. Today, though, the goofs had a contest to see who'd break and go open the door.

My niece, who has been on door duty all week, was giving her brother a real stink eye.

So I asked if it was my nephew's turn. My niece pointed out she had opened the door the past three days. I asked my nephew for help, and then my sister told him to help, and he did.

I'm supposed to be cool Uncle Matt. The last thing I want is to be a burden on the kids.
