It's stuck in WHAT?
Aaaaaah, kids. Never a dull moment. I walk into the living room and what do I see? My darling little girl caught red-handed shoving a plastic toy ice cream cone into the bass speaker of our surround sound system. I say, "No, don't put stuff in there" as I have said many times before. Promptly darling little girl shoves it in even further and I hear ever-so-faint click-type sound. My heart sinks. No, no, no please tell me she hasn't shoved it in there so now that it is stuck. I investigate. I pull on the cone and it comes out...leaving the vanilla scoop wedged in there. Now what? After many different tries and ex
periments with various makeshift tools (fork, utility knife, wire, hair frosting hook, drill) the toy is still stuck. Not only is it still stuck, it's getting pushed back further into the speaker. This only amounts to is an exercise in frustration (compounded with Madeline demanding to watch various movies). Finally, I thought to use a melted glue stick to retract the toy out. This works only to bring it back some, but not past the ridge that is keeping it stuck. The glue stick just pulls off again. So back to the other tools at
my disposal. I use everything in my arsenal along WITH my glue stick to keep it from getting shoved back further and VIOLA! One extracted toy scoop of ice cream. Whew! Jesse is now calling me MaGyver. I like that, but maybe I should be Ma'Gyver?
