119

Last Monday, we bought a potty seat for Danielle as she now likes to use the toilet to "u-u". Since my wife went to a clinic with our neighbor, she finally bought one after weeks of contemplating. And right away after arriving at the apartment, Danielle requested to use the potty seat to "ish-ish".

That night I arrived late from overtime work and Danielle was in the living room watching Hi5 (she has been very fond of this show lately) and dancing as she greeted me with a smile. I never suspected what had transpired that night as my lovely wife told me a funny but quite concerning story.

While my wife was washing some dishes after their dinner, Danielle called her and shouted "Mommy, help! I cannot get my hat.". She saw the potty seat was in Danielle's head as she imagined it to be a funny hat to wear like the ones Barney does. My wife was not alarmed at first as she tought the potty seat was soft enought to easily take out. However, after some careful pulling, the seat won't budge an inch. So, she called me up at the office but didn't receive an answer (I must have already been on the company bus by this time). She decided to ask help from our friendly neighbors Min & Jeung and unabashedly knocked at their door. Min also tried to cautiously pull it out but to no avail.

Thus, they decided to call 119 - Emergency Rescue system! Within minutes after the call, the rescuers arrived to check what needs to be done. My wife wisely turned on the TV and Danielle watched her current favorite show "Hi5" as the men gingerly cut the new potty seat. In just a few minutes, Danielle escaped without a scratch from her funny hat. We are now among the grateful benefactors of 119 (or 911 in the US). We might have to buy a new potty seat but we are quite sure Danielle won't be using it other than just her potty seat.
