Remember The Time...

The night Veronica got stuck in the girls bathroom and Mom had to call 911 is sure to be remembered for a long time.

And just to make sure, we're documenting it right here. There are no pictures (the camera is broken) but the events from Monday are sure to be burned into the memories of everyone who was involved.

The ordeal began on a night when Mom was determined to get everyone to bed early after a late night the night before. Emily had just played a rare weeknight volleyball match (which her team lost - again) so the family was already running behind on its usual 7:30 p.m. bedtime.

While Mom and Emily were working on a boatload of homework, Veronica sauntered into the bathroom, closed the door and opened the middle drawer of the cabinets next to the door.

No one was aware of what had happened until they heard Veronica screaming. Just three days shy of being 13 months old, she's old enough to realize when she's in trouble. And she was in big trouble.

The door could be opened less than a centimeter because the drawer was blocking it. Mom told Emily to grab a soft spatula from the kitchen to try and grip the drawer to close it. When that didn't work, Emily called Aunt Bridget, who was accompanied by Uncle Jon.

While Uncle Jon worked to use a knife to try and move the drawer shut, Mom called Dad and Papa OB. Dad said there were two options: call the firefighters who live down the street or call 911.

Mom called the firefighters, only to find they were watching the Monday Night Football game at a local establishment. So 911 was the remaining option.

"Ma'am, they'll have to bust the door down," the 911 operator told Mom. Fortunately, at about that same moment, Uncle Jon got the drawer to close and the door to open.

Veronica, who was in tears, was relieved to be freed. And for their efforts, Mom and the girls were rewarded with changing a poopy diaper.
