An Emergency?

Scene: Isaiah playing with the house phone while David sits nearby. (This is extremely common- the kid loves phones).

He presses buttons. Babbles for a white like he is talking to someone (also very common. He is a chatterbox these days).

David hangs up the phone having seen that Isaiah had turned it on.

A minute later, the phone rings.

Isaiah pressed the right button to pick it up. He babbles and David cracks up thinking, "Oh, how cute- he's talking to someone on the phone. They are probably loving it".

After letting him talk for a minute, David takes the phone and says, "Hello, who is this"?

Answer: "the cops"

Thinking that someone was joking, David said, "C'mon. Who is it really?"

Answer: "The emergency system."

Yes. Our little Isaiah called 911 and chatted them up a bit. Oops.

the year was 2000, about 3:00 p.m., i was still in my p.j.'s, emilie was just over a year and was happily playing with the phone. at one point the the phone rang, but i thought she hit the ringer button, i took the phone away from her. a few minuets later there was a knock at the door. a policeman, "we got a call from this house, is everything okay."
embarrased (and yes, in my jammies in the middle of the afternoon) i replied, "oh, i'm so sorry, my daughter was playing with the phone, she must've called!"

thankfully he was a very gracious cop. my kids never played with the phone again.:-)

Both of my older daughters did this at about the same age! The 9 and the 1 are right where chubby little thumbs fit and can press in sequence. Any day soon, and Laila will do it, too...that girl ADORES phones...
