To cut or not to cut? That is the question.

I wonder if the motor can survive with a chunk of fine blonde hair in it.

hmm

jingl I don't mean to sound flippant, but how on earth? Was she lying on the floor?

If you cut her hair, could you then squirt WD40 into the car's innards to help free the hair?

I don't know how they managed it. hmm I asn't in the room. She is as daft as he is.

Unraveling by her sister is taking place. I am having nothing to do with it.

Just have tissues ready for when she sees her hair in the mirror wink

If it's at the back, perhaps she won't! grin

My DS did this to his sister when they were pre school age. Not a radio controlled car, but one of those vroom vroom ones, you know, that you have to 'wind up' several times and then let go and it scoots across the floor. Only he vroom vroomed it and tried to let it go on her head shock. By the time I got to her, alerted by her screams, the wheels were still spinning and getting ever tighter to her scalp. No choice but to cut it. She had a bald patch the size of an old penny sad (And DS had his car confiscated grin)

We had a similar thing happen with a clockwork toy - a hamster if I remember rightly. We managed to disentangle it but it took a long time.
