A quick poll

Hands up those people whose spouse called them at work today because their youngest child had wedged him or herself down the back of a dining room chair? Keep your hand up if you called the Paramedics, from work, because you were the one with the local PD dispatch speed dialed into your cell phone. You get Bonus Points if the Paramedics were forced to cut the cushion off said dining room chair in order to free your youngest child.

*EDIT* added photo


The little lady managed to slide halfway through the gap between the cushion and the lowest rung, and Liz was unable to get her out one way or the other. If you examine the top of the lowest rung on the destroyed chair you'll see two whitish spots on each end. My resourceful wife apparently took to the rung with a saw, but the cherub kept wriggling around and Liz was afraid she'd cut her, so she stopped sawing.

What was I just saying yesterday?
Never underestimate the children :D

She's Liz's kid, what can I say? :D okok, I'll stop being mean to my cousin. hehe But serious, what a scare! Glad everyone's ok!

I can't believe you didn't take a picture of your kid at various stages. While she was trapped in the chair, while the cops were there sawing her out, etc. Totally could use them as embarrassment pictures for later on in her life.
