Kids find themselves in the craziest of situations, which is why parents always have to keep an eye on them. Scott Webber of Somerset, England learned that the hard way this month when his 2 year-old daughter was rushed to the emergency room after getting a potty-training toilet seat stuck on her head.

Scott, 28, had just finished dinner with his daughter Josie when she went to use the bathroom. Minutes later, Josie began screaming for help, and that’s when Scott found her with the bright pink toilet seat around her neck.

Scott thought she was kidding around at first and told her to take the seat off her head, but then he realized it was stuck.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw what she’d done,” he said. “I thought it would just come off but her ears kept getting in the way and she was getting so mad at me.”

Every time Scott tried to get the seat off of her, Josie said it hurt, so he rushed her the emergency room at Minehead Community Hospital in Somerset. Scott said everyone was starting at them when they got there.

“I don’t blame them, but one woman did start laughing and Josie didn’t like it one bit,” Scott said. “She [Josie] shouted at them ‘It’s not funny’ — but I think we can all agree it was.”

Doctors were finally able to remove the seat by taping down Josie’s ears and sliding it over her head. Scott said his family has since been joking that Josie takes after him and has a “big head.”

“It’s always been a running joke so my mates find it extra funny that this happened to Josie,” Scott said. “She’s never going to live this one down, those photos will haunt her forever.”

“We’ll make sure to remind her of this when she turns 18 and has her first boyfriend,” he added.

After the incident, Scott bought Josie a new seat that is too small for her to fit her head through. He also said that the two year-old loves laughing about what happened.

“She loves telling people about it now,” he said. “She’s just a crazy kid.”
