Emergency.

We gave the girls two old cell phones to play with.

They were old phones of the Husband's that no longer had SIM cards in them. But we had recharged the batteries so that they lit up and made noise.

So we were pretending to make calls.

I let them "call" my phone and I'd make the ringer go off like it had actually worked.

They were getting a big kick out of it.

A little while later, Kaeleigh came out from her room and said,

"Maylyn's talking to someone on her phone."

In comes Maylyn.

She hands me her phone and I say, "hello?" Not expecting anyone to actually respond.

"Hello this is the police.  You've got a very sweet little girl there. Most kids hang up when I ask to talk to their mom or dad."

Oh wow.  Talk about embarrassing.

Did you know that you can still make emergency calls on an old cell phone that no longer has it's SIM card?

Well you can.

And Maylyn did.

So I had a nice little conversation with police dispatch yesterday...

and the cell phones got taken away.   :)
