911

So last week Claire had my phone & then she disappeared into her room for a while. I didn't think anything about it until the phone started ringing & Claire ran down the hall to me as fast as she could with the phone...so worried & insisting that she didn't know who it was on the phone. I answered & heard "this is the police, someone called 911 from this phone...is everything alright?" I looked at Claire & realized what she had done! I explained to the officer that my 5 year old had the phone & called 911. He must have heard her crying & saying she" will never call 911 again!" I fully expected them to still come out to our house to check stuff out, & I told Claire that if & when they come, she is going to have to tell the police what she did! I think she hid under her blankets for about 1/2 hour, and I had to teach her how 911 is a good thing & we should call it at the right time...like if the house is on fire, or mom tells you to or many other reasons...I think she understands, but today we were driving & she was on her "cell phone" & I overheard her talking in her "mom"voice."um,911? I have an emergency...(sigh)I have too many dishes..." I wish I hadn't started laughing because the conversation stopped! I would have loved to hear where the conversation was going!
