Happy Mother’s Day. Here’s Your Baby’s Hand.

Why anyone would take their child to a Chocolate Factory is beyond me. I’ve seen both Wonka movies, and those factory operators are a little twisted, and those Oompa Loompas? Terrifying.

Willy Wonka told the baby not to touch the chocolate covered conveyor belt. But did she listen? Nope.

Baby’s Hand Severed at Chocolate Factory

HONOLULU – An 18-month-old girl’s hand was cut off when it became caught in a conveyor belt at a chocolate factory she was touring with her family, officials said.

The girl’s left hand was caught Saturday in a belt at the Menehune Mac Factory Gift Center, fire officials said. By the time firefighters arrived, employees had bandaged the girl and retrieved her hand.

“Our guys just put it in a bag on ice, just to preserve it in case doctors are able to do anything with it,” Fire Capt. Chris Ah Mook Sang said.

The girl and her family were attending the company’s Fifth Annual Mother’s Day Candy Making Event, a fundraiser for the Hawaii Children’s Cancer Foundation.

The factory was sanitized and production resumed in a different area of the factory.

Menehune Mac, founded in 1939, is the oldest existing manufacturer of macadamia nut candies in Hawaii, according its Web site.

So the girl is going to grow up now without a hand. No patty cake. No clapping with B-I-N-G-O singalongs.

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I’ve got a perfect lesson for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you’ll listen to me

What do you get when you endanger a child?
Bringing it around machines running wild?
Infants dont care about candied nut brand,
You look away and bye-bye hand!
Baby won’t play patty cake

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you’re not stupid, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Doompety do
