Haha! My little sister called 911 once when I was babysitting her. She had just learned about it in preschool and wanted to see if it worked, she hung up when they answered. I get the call back and had no clue that she had called.
That's cute! Why were they such jerks I wonder.. I bet it took more of their indeed very precious time to be rude over that incident than to simply let her know.
I think they are told to be rude and very harsh to the parents to encourage the parents to discipline their child to never call unless it is a legitimate emergency. A neighbor's kid called because he got a spanking. When the police got there, his Mom was just about ready to tell the cops to take the darn kid with you.
My uncle was trying to show my cousins how to call, and he dialed and hung right up. No call back though--they showed up at the house! And they definitely were NOT happy about it!
