My husband was with him in his home office where he likes to draw with a tumbler of pens and markers….and play with the phone, computer, etc. I was preparing dinner when the phone rang.
Caller: “Hello, this is the police… Did you just dial 911?”
Me: “Uhoh…I think my grandson did by mistake.”
Caller: “I’ve already dispatched a police car. Would you please go outside and let the police officer know that everything is okay.”
Me: “Of course. I’m sorry. We’ll be more careful in the future.”
I step onto my front porch and there is a police car coming up the block. I go to the street and meet him and explain and apologize.
Police Officer: (With a big smile) I have a one year old and this happens all the time. Its okay.
It is so nice to have a friendly forgiving police officer show up at your house. And we do need to be more careful with letting him play with the phone. As my daughter said. “You were lucky he didn’t call China!”

I'm curious what little Zach said when you asked him about it.
Nice that he knows how and what to dial in an emergency!
Hi Marion, just caught up with your blog. Zach is sure getting big, I can't believe he's two! Very funny about him calling 911. Frannie's right, (oops, Fran) lucky he didn't call China!

Ha! I've heard of kids doing that when given an old cell phone after Mom or Dad upgrade. Apparently the 911 still works on those, as long as the battery is in it. Zach is precious!
It is nice to have a friendly police officer in these cases. The parent (or grandparent) involved is usually already super embarrassed.
