Thwarted

Pip has taken to escaping whenever he gets a chance and this has left me freaked out and nervous a lot lately since I have Megan on my hands lots of the time.  So at my insistence Phil installed a lock on the basement door.  Today (while I was in the loo) Pip came up from the basement which I was sure I had locked.  I was like ... how did you get down there?  HUGE SMILE.  "I figured out how to open it."  Great.  Perhaps it will at least keep Megan from jailbreak, for another year or so, but not Pip.
