I know! But there really was nothing else I could do. I tried to figure out how to lift it without knocking him down, but as soon as I raised the lid but half an inch his first half fell. So I tried to let him sit another minute then VERY slowly lifted it again and he plopped. I FEEL SO BAD! But there was no other way, I tried to sneak a hand in to catch him and by the time I could even get a finger in he fell!
