Guess who called 911!

You guessed it..Mallory
This last week I thought it would be a good idea to teach Mal how to dial 911 in case of an emergency. Well, we were using the real phone..cause I wanted to teach her dial tone, etc.. After she got the hang of it I said, let me go grab a play phone and you can practice on that. As I walked out of her room the phone rang and instantly I knew who it was. The converstation..Hi this is 911 is everything ok. Me..Oh my gosh my daughter called you because we were practicing dialing 911. I am so sorry. Dispatch..how old is she, what is her name? Me, I tell her. Dispatch..ok we sending an officer they'll be on there way shortly..Me..there is no need to send anyone out. Dispatch..it's policy.. Oh my gosh.. I was in shock.. I immediately told Mallory that you only dial that number when something is wrong..if you need help. I told her that a policeperson was going to come to the house. For 20 minutes Mallory hid in my bathroom under the vanity..she was so embarrased.

What happened with the officer? You are such a good Mom for teaching her 911. I hope she won't be scared to call in a true emergency.

Yeah I figured it wouldnt be a big deal bc they were just reviewing the program.
I go to a playgroup from my old ward in Grand Terrace...we used to have one in our ward during the summer but I have no clue if they still meet.
