My sister Katie lives in Colorado with her husband Carl and two girls, Tootie and Brooke. Over the past few months, they’ve probably visited the ER every week with one of them being very sick and the fire department has had to come out a couple of times because of sickness or crazy kid mishaps.

This week it was the fire department, which they are now on a first name basis with them. Brooke (2-1/2) managed to get her finger caught in a Starbucks cup and they couldn’t get it out. I know right?!?! How does that happen and why couldn’t they get it out?!?!

I wasn’t a disposable cup, I tried to find a picture of it on the web but couldn’t. It was a reusable glass cup that had a glass domed lid and a hole for the straw. The hole is where Brooke’s finger got stuck. She put it over her knuckle, Katie and Carl tried several things but they couldn’t get it off.

So they called the fire department to come out. They tried several things and didn’t have any luck either. You can imagine the hysterics from sweet little Brooke! One of the firefighters went back to the station to get a Dremel tool and, finally, they were able to remove the glass lid.

After the whole event, Katie and Carl were joking about how they could sue and get Brooke’s college tuition out of the whole thing, but that idea was quickly gone when they flipped over the the glass cup and “For children 3 and over” was imprinted on the bottom.
I asked Katie to send me a photo montage so you could see the full reality of the story…
