Hi guys,

Can you please explain me this situation? Context: Employee of the cleaning company went into the bath-room in shopping center. He wanted to clean it. But he found there father with his kid. That father was cutting the kid's hair. That employee seemed to be shocked, so the father wanted to explain it.


Father: My kid just got gum stuck in his hair. I kind of had to get drastic, so I'll be done in a minute.

Guy from the cleaning company: Yeah, no problem. I'll come back later.

.( end of scene )

.
Can you please explain me the red sentence? Did the father say that he decided to deal with that problem radically (he's cutting his kid's hair to remove that gum) , so he'll be done in a minute? Please guys help...

many thanks in advance

Best Regards

JCD
