Reminds me...
. . . of the time when one of my hanai brothers was a toddler and decided he wanted to play with the phone. He was holding it to his ear and just pressing random buttons--only he managed to press the 9-1-1 combo. He didn't say anything to the person who answered--probably because he didn't even realize someone was on the other end of the line--and tired of his game, so he left the phone and waddled off to do something else.
When the 911 operator tried to call back, she couldn't get through because he hadn't actually hung up the phone. So, we were all startled when a police car pulled up and two officers came to the front door. We thought the older of the two boys--a teenager--had gotten himself into yet another bad situation.
Once everything was cleared up, we all (police included) had a good laugh and were relieved it wasn't a true emergency.
