I suppose it's a good thing she's so smart

We have a really heavy duty baby gate at our house:

The picture is kinda fuzzy, but the gate is really tall, and has a latch and swings open. It was quite the investment, but we wanted something that would keep our girls out of the kitchen and laundry room for a long time.

It isn't easy to open. We have to explain how to open it to every adult who comes to our house.

Portia learned how to open it.

I can hear $80 saying goodbye as it swirls down the drain.
