And who says I want to be rescued?


What pre-schooler wouldn't want to live in a toy machine?

MINNEAPOLIS - Devin Haskin isn't the first little boy to find the inside of a toy machine too enticing to resist. When the 3-year-old Austin, Minn., boy crawled through the discharge chute of a Toy Chest claw machine at a Godfather's Pizza in his hometown, he ended up on the other side of the glass surrounded by stuffed animals.

<snip>
"When we got it open, he didn't want to come out," Fire Chief Dan Wilson said Tuesday. "One of my firefighters had to reach inside and get him. He was happy in there."

<snip>
He said the gap Devin squeezed through was about 7 inches by 9 inches.


This is just too darned funny. How in the world did that child do it? 7" x 9"?!

1. Kids are flexable
Anyplace they can get their head and shoulders into they can get into.

So can you, unless you've got some extra weight or are a well-endowed woman...but are are as flexable as a kid? Probably not unless you're an olympic gymnast.

Could you imagine making that phone call to the fire dept? :D If he were my kid, I would turn this photo into holiday cards and send it to family and friends next Christmas.

6. I'm still trying to figure out how my 19 month old gets out of his crib...

The rail comes up to his chest.

I'm on the verge of setting up a video camera...

7. Lame Parents. Could have had him out for 50 cents.
Ok, maybe a dollar if they suck with that claw thing.

8. Are you kidding? You know how much those things weigh? Plus, he probably..
... had a bag of rocks tied to his bottom, and those claw things can't grab for crap!
