My son called 9-1-1 today....Yep, he did! I was in my room, on the phone with my mom and Trip runs in with the other line and says "here Momma....."
The other line:: "Hello, this is 9-1-1 what is your emergency?"
me:: "excuse me?"
Trip:: "Genna did it."
me:: "What? No way. I'm so sorry. No, there is no emergency....etc....."
Turns out, Trip did call.....because Genna-Clair supposedly told him to....I doubt she even knows what 9-1-1 is. Trip does because we studied it in our preschool curriculum. But he also knows when it should be used. I'm pretty sure he didn't think it was real...or that it would go through.
Well, the police officer came and asked "who the culprit was"-his words- Trips eyes got watery and he was thoroughly embarrased. We talked about who 9-1-1 is for, how and when it should be used, and why it was not okay for Trip to call today. I think he got it. ~sigh~
Tough lesson for a 4 year old but one I'm sure he'll NEVER forget.
Yet another reason I love being a mom. :)
