The Police Were At My House!

[Ron]

My oldest is 11 but she looks 13 was home with the 9 & 7 year old.
They were eating lunch & had not finished & the 2 girls were getting ready to go to a birthday party but we had forgotten to get the card.

I said finish your lunch & Kristin watch things while I run to the store & get the card.
Ryan the 7 year old got a hold of the phone & dialed 911 & he thought he hung up in time (he didn't) & Kristin was mad at him.
A few minutes later a police officer was knocking on the window & she answered the door & was asked if there was any 911 call from this house & was there an emergency?
My son got a short lecture & my kids were all scared to boot.

I got home a few minutes later & was told all of this by Kristin.
I called the police on the non emergency line & apologized & they were understanding in regards to his age.
The only concern they had was that the kids would get so scared that when they need the police they will be too scared to call.

Thing is we had this talk before with our kids & the school told them about 911 being a serious # to call!!!!

Sigh, yup our kids will embarrass us!
