Today Daddy had off of work so we promised the boys we would have lunch at McDonnalds. That way after the boys ate, they could play in the play area. Well, Brad went and bought the boys their chicken nuggets and fries and we all sat down so they could eat. Everything was going fine, and they were enjoying their lunch. Brad then decided to walk over to Arby's to get himself something to eat because Brad hates McDonnalds food. Now Daddy (Brad) had forgotten his cellphone and was hesitant to leave the boys and myself at the McDonnalds since I wouldn't be able to call him. I told him all would be fine, and he walked to Arbys. A few moments after Brad had left Bradley very calmly asked me "Mommy why is my leg stuck?" I looked at him sitting acrossed the table from me and asked "your stuck?" I got up and tried to pull Bradley's leg from the skinny gap between the table and the seat. Bradley then began to panic realizing he was really was stuck and couldn't get free. Bradley started crying and begging for help. I ran to try to catch Brad, but it was too late. I then went to the counter and yelled to one of the employee's that I needed help. The employee came back, and saw how stuck Bradley really was and ran for a manager. Now, at this point it had caught the attention of quite a few people. A volunteer fire fighter came back and began helping us. He poured water over the metal bars trying to slip Bradley's leg out, but no luck. Finally the manager came back and was really surprised at how stuck Bradley's leg was. The manager then went back and filled a squirt bottle full of butter of grease (I'm not sure which) and came back. She put it all over Bradley's leg and the manager & volunteer pulled Bradley's leg out. Bradley was a brave little guy, and just wanted mommy to hold his hand. As the ordeal was coming to an end, daddy arrived and was wondering what the heck was going on. I'm sure he was puzzled by the crowd around the boys and I.
The man who helped was with I assume his wife & kids (unsure) but they were very nice people. They had a little boy about Parker's age, and a little girl Dustin's age. They wouldn't let there son sit in the middle of the indoor picnic tables because they were afraid it would happen to him also. I am really ticked off at McDonald's now, and could have had a lawsuit against them! They really need to fix those tables so it doesn't happen again. Bradley had rested his leg on the metal bars that hold the bench seat onto the table. I assume when Bradley moved he pushed his leg between the bars by accident. Bradley will deffintely have a nice big bruise on his leg now. He is still complaining how it hurts. The boys did play once all the drama was over. But it really ruined Bradley's time.
