The force be with me

In part two of stories from my past, I'm going to share probably the stupidest thing I've ever done. A few years ago (yes I had graduated college), I was home alone at my parents house on a day when mom and dad were at work. I was kind of board and going through drawers in the kitchen looking for something to do, when I saw something I thought was super cool; a Star Wars Light saber spoon that you could turn on and the spoon would glow! Had there ever been a cooler toy to come out of a cereal box? I think not! I quickly looked around for a dark place in the house I in which I could gaze on this wonderful object, but dark places were hard to come by seeing that it was close to the middle of the day and I was a grown man at home. I needed to find a room without windows, and I had the "bright" idea to go into the coat closet next to the kitchen. This closet is not big by any stretch of the imagination, and as I was stuffing myself into it, I thought that terrorists would have a hard time shoving me into such a small space without me preventing it. As soon as I was in, I closed the closet door and turned on the light in the spoon (of course I made the light saber turning on sound effect). I waved the spoon around, completely fixated by it, making whooshing sounds though the air as I did. When I was satisfied, I reached for the door knob of the closet to let myself out, and it was then I realized this door's knob only worked from the outside. I had effectively locked myself in the coat closet on the account of a star wars light up spoon. There I stood alone in the closet with no cell phone or no way to call for help. I ended up standing there for about twenty or thirty minutes until my mom came home from lunch and let me out. When my dad was told the story, I saw him laugh harder than I have ever seen him laugh. He said he would have given $100 to have been the one to come home first. What can be learned from this? Beware of the dark side of the force.
