My wife's keys got locked inside....

I thought that wasn't supposed to happen.

The car was in the garage, adn she went to open the door, and it wouldn't open.

Her poccketbook with the keys inside it were in the passenger's seat.

I went and got mine, and used my clicker to open it, but now... I wonder.

How did this happen. It's not supposed to...

I understand the weak battery issue, but it still doesn’t explain the locking event, unless your wife tried to lock the car using the door handle button.

In my case I did not press the lock buttons either. Might just be a little glitch that occurs when the fob has low power.
