Accidentally calling emergency services is basically a rite of passage for toddlers. It seems like almost everyone has a story about the time they or their sibling grabbed their parent's phone and managed to call 911. It doesn't take much effort to accidentally hit that emergency button. Instead of watching a YouTube video on Dad's phone or playing games on Mom's iPad, that toddler has magically discovered that they called an emergency helpline. They're delighted to have a new friend to talk to, but their parents will be mortified when the police show up at their door to have a stern talk with the little one about when it is or isn't appropriate to call.
These people also have some great stories to share about the funniest non-emergency 911 calls they know of. Some people had young siblings who chose to tattle not to the parents, but instead to the police. Others were handed a phone and managed to contact authorities without their parents knowing. There are a bunch of great stories to check out!
