The Boy

This post goes along with the one below....

Grandma Stock gave Slade a really fun nerf-type toy. You pump the rocket and it shoots into the sky. Slade absolutely loved it! Then he stuck his middle finger into the hole and he couldn't get it out. Grandpa Stock tried everything to loosen up the finger and slide it out but nothing worked. NOTHING.

So, Grandpa Stock cut the toy down so it would be easier to work with.

This is the only time he will EVER be allowed to pose like that for a picture.

After about an hour or so of trying different things to get it off, cutting it off was the only option. Slade did a really good job and didn't ever cry. The butter knife was placed inside the toy and over Slade's finger so he wouldn't get cut. Grandpa Stock was able to saw through the plastic and finally release Slade's finger. His finger was very swollen and had a red ring around it for a couple days. The only time he did cry was when his toy was thrown away.
