El ascensor necesita cerrado! Como???

Maren and I were super excited when our friend Nikki came over. She was the first person we ever got to buzz in to our building. It was very strange when our buzzer kept buzzing when we know no one else in the city. After many times of me answering, not understanding the spanish and hanging up, I finally understood cerrado- closed. Oh!!! The elevator needs to be closed! I shouted down to Maren and Nikki to close the elevator. With the man still yelling into the phone, Nikki and Maren thought I was telling them that the elevator was closed and they replied with when can we leave. No! Close the elevator!!! Oh man. Remember: El ascensor necesita cerrado!
