Thousand Word Thursday: Thank You, WESSON!

It was not too long ago that my sister reminded my parents about the time when I was about 18-months-old (I think?). Those darn wrought iron railings sure can be pretty terifying to a toddler when they get their head stuck! Well, that was me about 34 years ago! Kathryn gave me just as BIG of a surprise to as I gave my parents those many years ago!


David was leaving for work this morning, said he had checked on Kathryn and that she was still sleeping. Like many other mornings when I have the opportunity, I decided to jump in the shower. While getting dressed, she started crying hysterically! It was a "bone chilling" cry! I KNEW something was seriously wrong! I don't hear that cry very often. Of course, my first thought was to grab the camera when I saw her, but her cry reminded me that she had other priorities. There she was, still in her crib, with one leg STUCK between two crib spindles just above her knee! I was panic stricken, going into shock, and feeling light headed! I was almost on the verge of crying hysterically myself!


My thoughts during this ordeal were many! "Oh, my GOSH, what to do, what to do? CALL 911! I think I may need to call the fire department to get YOU out! OKAY, OKAY, CALM DOWN! YOU can HANDLE this! Remain CALM and think rationally...butter? soap? cooking oil?"

Yesm that's it! Then I ran downstairs to get the cooking oil, Kathryn still crying of course, poured some oil on each sides of her leg and eased it right out! So, thank you Wesson, your "can-ola" sure CAN!




Afterwards, I thought...my fat head, her fat thigh!




Thanks so much for visiting and remember to ALWAYS enjoy your own life's wild ride!
