@dragnlaw Do you remember wooden playpens? My mum used one of those and would put us outside in the yard, where she could see us from a window. When my sister, the born engineer, was two and in the playpen, in the backyard. I saw her remove a screw from the corner of the playpen. The side of the playpen fell down and she took off like a bat out of hell. I was five at the time. I caught her before she got to the gate in the chain link fence in front of the house. We knew she would figure out how to open that.
She had figured out exactly which screws would let her out and how to loosen them. So, sometimes that two year old is running loose, just because they are that kind of kid, not because the parents let them run loose. Yeah, my parents did something to the playpen so it wouldn't happen again and watched her even more carefully after that. I remember my parents talking about the fact that she had only removed the minimum number of screws needed to make that side fall down.
