"9-1-1. What's your emergency?"


While Kim was trying to get an email sent out, she let Maeve play with the phone. A minute later she could hear this faint voice saying "Hello? Hello?" She thought Maeve had hit redial and it was me on the phone. When she picked it up and said hello, the woman said, "This is 911. What's your emergency?" Kim quickly explained what happened but the police are still required to answer the call. Sure enough, there was a knock on the door a moment later. When the cop was satisfied with Kim's explanation, he called off the other two cars that were speeding to our home. Bad, but perhaps not as bad as when Juliana hit the 911 button on the cottage phone and the poor OPP cop had to drive out to the cottage from Belle River to make sure all was OK.
