Did you know that if your barely one-year old (or probably toddler of any age) pushes the above number on your phone (yes, I hit redial to see what he actually dialed) while you are trying to hurry and get ready for the day (happily knowing he has distracted himself with the phone, oblivious to any consequences) that he might actually, during his number punching rampage, hit "dial," and soon you may hear this,
"HELLO? HELLO? HELLO? IS EVERYTHING OKAY??? THIS IS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, IS EVERYTHING OKAY? HELLO?" blaring out of your telephone? And then, no matter how apologetic you are...or how stupid you feel...or how much you explain what happened...they still have to send an officer to your house to make sure everything is okay? Sheesh, how embarrassing. I guess it's good to know that they're making sure everything is okay...
Anyway, just a little PSA...take the batteries out of the cordless if it's the only thing that will work to distract your baby...of course, then the phone won' t make any beeping noises and he probably won't want it anymore...
Just so you know...
Edited to add a photo of the little hooligan with the ONLY phone he'll be playing with from now on...
was doing a little blog hopping and came across this entry.. and i have to admit that i have been there, done that - when my oldest was a baby, he did the same thing! SO embaressing when the cops showed up!
