The Heimlich is slightly different, but quite achievable. Stand behind the victim, announce your intention to avoid confusion, and place your fingertip in the victim’s bellybutton: easier said than done, which is why many victims will take pity on you and plunge your finger into their bellybuttons themselves, in a kind of organic team effort. Once you have it, place your other fist just above the bellybutton; close the first hand over the fist; and scoop both hands briskly in and up, with force enough to bring the chokee onto tippy-toes, if you like, but not to lift him off the ground. If you happen to be squittier than any potential chokee, he can kneel on the ground for ease of access. Quite simple.

Mini-Anne only has half a torso, with rudimentary nipples and a separate sternum, so dressmaking would be tricky. But yes, I get to keep her.

I’m a bit fuzzy on the Heimlich, myself. I look it up on the intarwebs every so often and promptly forget again. It’s not much more complex than general whackage though, is it?
