free to roam=firetruck rescue

You are about to witness what happens when a toddler is free to roam in the vehicle without adult supervision.



Sorry about the poor quality, it was taken from my hubby's cell phone.

Now, the story. Hubby took AK with him to rent a movie from Redbox. Apparently there was a line so he took her out of her carseat while they waited on the line to go down.

Take note that during this time she kept getting reprimanded for aggressively yanking on the rearview mirror.

So the line dwindles and hubby pulls up next to the curb, crooked as he says, and proceeds to get his movie. He selects "online pick up", swipes his card and turns to watch our precious 21 month old laughingly push the lock down with her cute little hands. He apparently called me, I didn't answer, so his only option was to call 9-1-1. He tells them that his daughter has just locked herself in the car with the keys in the ignition and the vehicle is running...so that was good, she had AC. They ask him if she is in any distress.

Now, let me paint you a picture of distress.

She is playing with the rearview mirror and daddy hits the window and tells her "NO!". She listens at first but then proceeds to do it again, this time violently yanking the mirror from side to side. He again hits the window and tells her "NO!" and she LAUGHS AT HIM!!! Yes, our daughter laughed while she continued to hang from the rearview mirror. Good one.

So, distress, he tells them she is not in distress. They send a MASSIVE fire truck to open the door. Not one of those little fire truck dept. vehicles, an actual firetruck! How hilarious! AND even more funny, he was parked all cockeyed next to the curb. Whew, I'm glad he didn't get a ticket.

THAT, folks, was our Saturday afternoon.

Oh, I forgot to mention that since they were only going to Redbox and she would not be entering public that I sent her out in a tank top and diaper! It's all just so funny.
