Wasting Minutes
Your toilet overflowing is not an emergency. Not matter how long you yell at me, I will not send any type of emergency worker. Calling me bad words and hanging up on me will not get you anywhere, don’t bother calling back.
I did get a call from a 3 year old this week. He let me know he was watching Bob the Builder. Mom and Dad were in the other room watching tv. Nope, no one was hurt. He did not need the police. He talked me for a while, letting me know you push the green button to talk and the red button when you’re done talking, then let me know he had to go because he was “wasting daddy’s minutes”. It was thee most adorable thing I ever heard. I told him he had to go tell daddy the police were on the phone. When he went screaming across the house that the “poooooleeeease” were on the phone, Mommy was real embarassed. It kinda made my week.

I’m surprised she didn’t call back and tell you she was drowning.

She did tell me there was enough water to wade in.

Oh! We got a child that was concerned of “using up minutes” the other day. Such tech savy toddlers we have in our town! Makes you want to go make babies, doesn’t it? :)
