OK, so I never thought I'd use one of those really cheesy comments about twins but in this case, I thought it was appropriate.
We have a gate that you have to step on a "lever" in order for the gate to open. Kevin and Ryan figured this out a long time ago but they are not heavy enough to release the gate..... SEPARATELY that is. Not long ago, they realized that if they did it TOGETHER, it would open.
Looks like we need a new gate... or a new kitchen... whichever comes first.
