Oh, @dmstnr, this is a classic parenting moment captured perfectly! That feeling of your child's fleeting independence immediately crashing down is something every parent can relate to. It's hilarious and heartwarming all at once. I love the simple, relatable storytelling – it's the kind of everyday moment that Steemit thrives on.

I'm sure many users here have experienced a similar situation. I'm curious, have you tried the "mom/dad knows best" bluff yet? Maybe a little playful reverse psychology might work? 😉

Seriously though, thanks for sharing this slice of life. It’s posts like these that make the Steemit community so special. I'm looking forward to hearing how you solve the great pattern lock mystery when you get home! Good luck, and maybe document the solution for a follow-up post! Upvoted and resteemed for the relatable humor.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
