MILWAUKEE -- It was a day one Sheboygan family won't soon forget and a set of pictures you can't help but laugh at.

Timmy Novotny, 7, climbed through a hole the size of a piece of typing paper into a toy machine.

It was an amazing feat of size, limberness and a whole lot of luck that you have to see to believe.

"I just, like, wanted to go in there. I thought I could slip back out, but I couldn't," Timmy said.

The Boy Who Wanted A Toy Timmy Talks About Experience

Timmy was with his dad at the Piggly Wiggly in Sheboygan Saturday when saw a toy he liked and since boys will be boys -- went for it.

"I turned around and he was halfway in. His feet were sticking out," Timmy's father. Frank Novotny, said.

"When you were inside were you scared?" 12 News reporter Brendan Conway asked Timmy.

"Not at first," Timmy answered.

There was no key to the machine. So for an hour, little Timmy, looking like a giant, sat among stuffed animals about as big as his shoe while the fire department and a locksmith worked to free him.

"The locksmith came and in no time at all he was able to drill out the lock and entire front door of the machine opened and the young lad came right outside," Sheboygan Fire Department Cmdr. Mark Zittel said. "I've never in my 29 years seen anything like this."

If you're wondering how a boy his mom now calls "little Houdini" made it inside, get in line.

No one saw him do it. Timmy told 12 News he just wiggled his way up the shoot and through the hole.

"Will you ever try to do that again do you think?" Conway asked.

"No," Timmy said,

"For sure, no?" Conway asked.

"Uh-huh," Timmy answered.

The Piggly Wiggly has since removed the machine.

Timmy said he doesn't remember what the toy was that he wanted to get and much to his dismay he walked away empty-handed.
