Gabe has been practicing dialing 911 on our phone lately. A school extra curricular calendar prompted this. I unplug the phone line and had him practice a few times last week. "Check" on the calendar and then we moved on to practicing writing our letters.
Well this evening Gabe was playing with the phone while I was finishing up the cookies he wanted to "help" me make.
I kept telling him to not play with the phone. He said, "911, I know how to dial 911." I said, "do not do that for real, Gabe. That is serious!" I could hear the sequence of buttons on the phone and I never heard him turn the phone on. I finally went and unplugged the phone line so I didn't have to worry about him calling 911 for real. Whew, disaster averted!
Several minutes passed and then the doorbell rang. I look out the window and there are 2 cops standing at the door. My first thought is, "I hope one of the neighbors didn't have a break-in." Why else would 2 policemen be at my door?
