does it really take a year?

I had another neighbor encounter today. She had locked herself out while wearing a t-shirt in the crisp, fall air. I knew something was wrong right away. She made eye contact with me as I pulled in from dropping off the big kid at school. We've never made eye contact. I offered to call someone for her but got their answering service. I suggested she try one of the other two doors to the house. Thankfully, for her, her husband hadn't locked the garage door and she was able to get in.
