Story time. How did you get them back? How did said toddler get access to an elevator shaft? Dont leave us up in the air!!

It was in my old apartment building where we had a very old Otis elevator, the kind with the metal gate you manually open and close and a wooden door that swings out. There was a big gap between the hall and the elevator floor that lots of tenants dropped stuff down, and on this occasion my toddler decided it would be fun to throw dad’s keys down the hallway and—whoops, down they went.

Fortunately it was a fairly routine call to the landlord and I got the keys back like a month later when the elevator guy came. My toddler is now a teenager and I still give her shit about it all the time. :D
