I was thinking about getting up this morning, but not really ready to face the already arguing kids in the kitchen when Jack brought me the phone with dial tone blaring. I turned it off and went back to contemplating the ceiling.
A few minutes later the doorbell rings. I sent the girls to look out the window. Every couple of days my girls have one or another of their friends show up early to play. I assumed this was one of those times. Sydney comes back to tell me that it looks like a police man at my door.
I am a little freaked out. Not because I thought it was a cop, but because I assumed she had been mistaken and it was just a man she didn't know. I answered the door and the nice cop asked if everything was okay at our house. ???? They had just received a 911 hang up and wanted to make sure everything was okay.
Ah, the wonderful twos. My happy Jack ran up to the door in just his diaper smiling and jumping. I assured the police man everything was fine and explained the dial tone/toddler incident.
Jack seemed awfully proud of himself this morning. Lots of laughing and running around after that. There is only two explanations to his behavior. Either he grabbed the phone and completely randomly dialed the three worst numbers to crank call OR the insistence that he have his morning waffles NOW has just become more than an entire family emergency.
I want to believe it's the first, but having seen how crazy/happy he gets about his Eggo's I may be more inclined to think the second.
Either way, I've decided the best course of action is to send him to Grandma's house for a couple of weeks.
You're Welcome Grandma!!
Does Grandma have a phone?
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, but I think its grandma's turn to corral the toddler. I'm tired :)
ReplyDelete2 weeks?!! You must mean Grandma Lori. I for sure can't do it now, I'm already tired. All this fun the last few days has worn me out. Let's wait until he's 12 yrs old, then he can mow my lawn and pull weeds while he's here. In the meantime, his other grandma would be happy to give you a break, she might even keep him for a month!.
ReplyDeleteRita! What are you thinking? I am WAAAAY more tired than you! Besides, he doesn't like me. He likes Grandpa, and Grandma Boom (I believe that's YOU!) Since he can use the phone, Jodi should teach him to use the toaster/microwave and make his own breakfast!! Mom Lori
