A Warning about Ipods

Yesterday was a beautiful day and we decided to open the windows for some fresh air. Fred had been outside working in the yard and as he came in he said "Let's put the air on...can you close the windows?" I said "Sure" and he went upstairs. So, I proceed to close a kitchen window. Now our windows are about 8 feet tall and go down almost to the floor, so I bent over to push the window down. Just as I finished closing the first window, the toggle from my bracelet got caught just as the window shut. I was trapped. I couldn't get my bracelet unstuck for anything and it was a chunky chain so I couldn't break it or wiggle my wrist out of it. And the windows are really heavy so I couldn't get it back up in the position I was in....So...I being to yell for Fred, after 5 minutes I realize he must have his new Ipod going and can't hear me, so I begin to scream"Help" over and over knowing the windows are open and maybe a neighbor will come to my rescue, but it was to no avail. I was stuck. I knew the girls would be home in an hour so I tried to get comfy...remember, the window is low so my wrist is 6 inches from the ground so my back is now aching!! I just began to laugh and then I remembered that mountain climber who cut his own arm off! I didn't think that was an option. I continued to yell from time to time and the I began to yank and pull and pull and yank and my wrist was killing me, but I got the toggle to the end of the window and was able to free myself. Once I was free I went upstairs to find my man just sitting there in at his desk listen to his Ipod...just as I thought. He looked at me and just said "What?"
