Phone stuck to Sim's hands

I am experiencing a curious little glitch. I had a child in my Sims family call a friend with his cell phone, after the conversation was finished the phone remained on his hands and is continuing to persist while he goes on about his day. Ie, clipping through food while he eats, smashing into the keyboard while he plays on the computer, just generally glued to his hand where ever he goes now.

I understand this is no major problem in the gameplay and is not causing the game to crash or run slow (yet). I am just curious if there is a fix for this. I remember seeing a problem like this in previous Sims games but I dont recall ever finding a way to fix the issue without killing a Sim, I'd like to avoid that...
