It was an early Saturday morning, and two-year old Grant Watson woke up early in order to practice playing with his recording. But at around 7:30 in the morning, Grant accidentally dropped his musical instrument into a vase. Naturally, Grant wanted to have his recorder back, but instead of turning the vase upside down to get his instrument out of the vase, he decided to put his hand inside the vase and try to pull out the recorder from it, which caused his arm to get stuck.
Krispin [Grant’s mother] tried to free her son’s arm, to no avail. And when she pulled on the vase instead, Grant started screaming.
Fortunately, the Watsons live just two miles from Calera Fire Department, so Krispin drove over there to get help.
In strode firefighter Nic Schoggen who, after checking for any injuries, used washing up liquid and water to remove young Grant’s arm from the vase, along with the plastic instrument.
Krispin told WBRC that, unsurprisingly, her baby boy was more interested in the fire trucks then getting the vase off.
“I just want to thank the first responders and essential workers who don’t hesitate to help and make the experience one to remember!” she said. “Grant has been saying ‘fire truck’ all weekend.”
Hmm, looks like the kid just got a new dream job. But hopefully, he doesn’t stop honing his music skills.
