“I took the head of that weird little statue that was standing at the bottom of the stairs,” says the 42-year-old, who played Tanner’s middle child Stephanie. “I tried to take the whole thing in, but it was quite awkward at the end of the show, and it’s hard to get out of there without anyone noticing that I’m carrying a huge statue.”

So, Sweetin explains, she settled on just the head of the wooden statue — known as “Sea Pappy” — that appeared in both shows. But that didn’t go unnoticed either.

“They pulled me over with my head in the car,” Sweetin says. “And they said, ‘You can’t take it until we make a list.’ So I tried to steal Sea Pappy’s head, basically.”

“This is the Sea Pappy they recreated,” she explained. “It was actually made out of Styrofoam because they had one that was a joke — whatever. Well, they taped his head and left him there. So it’s not wooden, it’s just a styrofoam replica.”

“I would help you take the whole thing. I was there,” Saget said.

“Well, I mean, we can find him,” Sweetin joked. “There’s a headless Sea Pappy somewhere.”
