Well, 
WHY do I know that?
Because,
two weeks ago, my hubby and my two oldest boys
left for 6 days to go earn some silly 50-miler patch.
On the morning of day 2 of them being gone, (and no cell service)
as we were cleaning Kinzie's room,
this chair,
which we had left leaning against her bed,
fell over
and pinned her door shut with no one in the room.
This is as far as Kinzie could reach her hand through the door.
.
.
What to do?
(At least their swim suits and some of their clothes
were in the other room, so they will have other clothes to wear.)
Kinz and Kauri will have to sleep on the couch. . . .
unless they have a genius mother like ME!!!
It took several attempts at different ideas, but
I got their door open.
Okay,
now's your chance to throw out your
own genius ideas.
How'd I get her door open?
(It did not involve going through her window
or an attic
and I'm 99.9% sure nobody will guess this.)
What would YOU do? (Besides cry, I did that, too.)

I think you stuck something long and skinny under the door and pushed the chair out of the way.
Did you take the door off? I saw that in the movie Ever After.
Tried the long and skinny, but the chair was too heavy.
The door hinges are on the inside of the door.
use a yard stick and use it to turn the chair so there was room to open the door.
Did you somehow get the chair to open by pushing on it under the door?
How many guesses do we get?
Did it involve anything from Sky High such as a guinea pig through the vent or a puddle under the door?
Well...
first I would try to get something under the door to maybe push it towards the opening to grab it or away from the opening to be able to open the door more.
Second, I would maybe try to reach from the side and grab it.
Third, I would get one of Carls straps (or something similar) and go from the top of the door and try to catch the back of it and pull it up. This would have to be done with some sort of hook or a strong magnet attached to a rope or strap.
Fourth, I would try something similar after taking off the door handle.
Fifth, get Carl's skill saw and cut the bottom of the door enough to slide the chair out.
Last, burn down the door (and the house and collect the insurance money to buy a new door).
By the way my ideas for the baby are:
Kelsy
Kammie
Kahmay
Karolyn
Kana (haha)
Kayloni
As many guesses as you want.
No one is even close, and remember, Steve, my husband was gone, so no access to straps or skill saw or another place to live and besides the doorknob screws are on the inside of the door with the door hinges. I guess I should've said that under the door has enough room for barely my fingers or a skinny book. And not enough room to get my childs fishing pole hook through the crack at the side.
Tried the yardstick, chair was too heavy and wedged to budge or to turn.
Keep trying.
You are so gonna think I'm a genius!!
Tttttttthhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiissssssss iiiiiiiiiisssssssss hhhhaaarrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddd !!!!!!!!! We, dad and I, (this is dad writing) think that you might have pushed the door hard to get the chair even more stuck so that there would be more room from the bed to the door.
Or a spatula type thing to pry it up.
Maybe you switched her room with Kort's and opened the door right up.
Clues please!
A marshmallow roasting stick! You stuck it through the side of the door, lowered it to the floor under the door, hooked it around the chair, and pulled it over to the side.
Since when do you have to approve comments?
I think she is going crazy! I couldn't believe that she did it. I now know where I get my smarts from. :)
