"911 - What is your emergency?"

Last Thursday morning, Troy was out of town at meetings and I was home with the boys packing for a little mini-vacation (that's the next blog entry)...there was a knock on our door (our house was being repainted so I thought it was the painters..nope!) & I opened it to find a very friendly St. George cop on my doorstep. He proceded to tell me that they had received a 911 call from our address and he was just checking things out. My first thought was Braxton, but remembered Tanner had the phone while I was changing his diaper and I realized he'd turned it on when I heard the little operater chick saying "if you'd like to make a call..." & I hung it up. The officer said that there was still an open line so I checked the phones found the one still off the hook and we were good to go. He kept asking if we were ok (probably cuz the painters are all very questionable looking!)and then let dispatch know it was just an infant on the line. How do little kids always push the right buttons?? I called Evelyn Warby,an old lady in Beaver once when I was little and told her all about what I got for Christmas and had close to a 5 min conversation before my mom realized I was on the phone and ended the call. Good thing it happened to be someone we knew well. So this morning the phone is sitting on the counter and Tanner grabbed it while I was getting something and next thing I know I hear the phone turn on and he's pushed 99... hopefully no more visits from St. Geo PD in the near future!
