Charlotte got her head stuck in one of those look through wood things at the zoo today. Instead of looking through it, she put her head all the way in.
And got stuck.
The best part?
We were all standing off to the side not really paying attention and she was too embarrassed to ask for help. Then my dad looks over and sees her and she got really upset because her pride was hurt.
He had to finagle her out of it.
What do I do?
Take a picture of course.
My parents told me if I posted this it would live on the internet for infinity and when she was 18, she would get to see it again.
I personally think that’s the best part.

Ok if they know kids are going to be sticking their heads there maybe they should make the opening a little bigger. Love it, I would have posted it too!
What a good mommy blogger!!
That’s exactly what all of us would have done!
Obviously she didn’t call for help because she knew you’d just take a picture of her in her embarrassing predicament. LOL
Too bad you hadn’t warned her not to put her head in, then the picture would be evidence that Mom knows best.
I totally would have taken a picture and posted it too ha ha.
LOL…Yep! I would have taken a picture and posted it too. Good call.
OMG Poor Charlotte! It is hilarious though. Tell her at least you didn’t have to cover her face and head in butter in order to squeeze her out! I think it makes a great picture and an even better memory. She’ll look back on this one day and pee her pants laughing.
Oh gosh how funny! I have a habit of taking photos of ANY kind of moment lol. We had a weekend of Bad Mothering here as well though in my defense Owen never cried so I didn’t think it was that bad lol.
My son’s head is like in the 90th percentile, so now I’m going to have to heed the warning of Charlotte and tell him beware of the head cut out thingamajigs!
–>I think I would have laughed, taken a picture and then made sure she was okay – in that order. ha!
@debthaxton
omg, this is one of those posts where you feel guilty laughing, but I am!
I don’t know whether to laugh or say awwwww poor baby….LOL
Or the picture could look like he is trying to push her all the way through!
LOL. Ah never a dull moment. I’ve had moments like this also. And yup like you I took a photo. Personally I think we’re good moms for capturing these special moments.
LOL! I would do the same thing. She looks so defeated-like “damn, I guess I DO need some help getting my head out of this thing!”. Poor girl!
What was it? Sort of looks like a giant butterfly.
OMG that’s so funny, I was going to say I can’t believe you took a picture but then well that’s what we do, right?!
Can’t believe she got her head stuck, wow!
I totally would have taken a picture too!
My kids have freakishly large heads for their ages. We’ve had that happen a time or 2.
OH poor thing. The zoo should really look into that so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else. I’m sure in a few days she’ll look back and that and say “remember that day my head got stuck and…” LOL
bwah ha ha! can’t wait til she’s 18 and sees this!
(poor baby)
