911 Call

Last night we were all over at Doug's Aunt's house because all of the Robinsons were in town. At about 9:00pm a Policeman shows up at the door. He said they received a 911 call from this house by someone named Elizabeth. My mouth dropped open. I was a little embarrassed. Elizabeth and Preston were playing in the basement and apparently they picked up the phone and started dialing numbers. The 911 operator asked her her name and she told them Elizabeth. She asked if she was okay and Elizabeth's response was "it's okay". Then she put the phone down so the it was busy when they tried calling back. The officer was very nice about it all. I then had to explain to Elizabeth that we do not touch the phone, especially any buttons on it. I tried to explain it would be okay to dial 911 only if mommy or daddy were hurt and couldn't get to the phone. Who knows if it sunk in. The joys of children! :)
