Sticky Situation

I was cooking dinner when Ava exclaimed, "My foot is stuck in the chair!" I figured it would be a quick fix and even took my time getting to her, but I did notice that she was beginning to get more and more agitated...quickly. Her foot was wedged between the rungs of a dining room chair and I worked on it for a solid 5 minutes, but I couldn't get it out! Meanwhile she was becomming more hysterical and crying louder with every minute. I was trying to calm her down, but inside I was getting more hysterical, too, wondering if I would be able to free her. Finally I just called our neighbors. We are pretty good friends with a sweet couple that lives across the street. They have two elementary aged boys. I called and asked the husband if they could spare an adult to come over and help me get Ava's foot unstuck from a chair. He came right over and together we were able to finally turn her foot the right way to slide it out. I told him I figured he had never gotten a call quite like that before, and he said he had not. It took me a while to get Ava calmed down after he left. It had really upset her. So now I've called my neighbors for help in one of the oddest ways ever.
