…and we may have a serial 911 caller in the family and it looks like my grandson Gavin, who you may have heard say “have a pickleicous day” weekday mornings before I sign off the air shortly before 10 am. It was something my wife Val recorded him saying when he was 2 years old. Well, now that he’s 4 his vocabulary has grown a bit and is expressing himself more and more with each passing day. So yesterday morning, unbeknownst to Val, Gavin decided to call 911 on what the kids call “the game phone. It’s my wife’s old cell phone which has had the service cut off to it, but apparently to her surprise can be used in an emergency. So yesterday morning Val was going about her business and while walking by the kitchen table she hears Gavin talking on the phone which she thought was cute and figured he was just playing around until she heard a far away voice talking back to him, again on a phone with no service. So she picks up the phone to see if there really is someone on the line and there is. It’s Allegheny 911 which totally freaks her out and thinks how in the world was he able to call 911. Val apologized to the dispatcher and said she had no idea that the phone could still be used in an emergency to call 911 even with service cut off to it. Well, thankfully the dispatcher was in a good mood or the 4 year old is a really good smoozer becuase the dispatcher said Gavin started up the conversation by telling her right off the bat that his name was Gavin and where he lives but isnt home at the moment because his mother is at work and thats why he’s at his grandma’s and proceeds to tell the dispatcher where that was. When the dispatcher asked if everything was alright he said yeah everyhitng is fine. The dispatcher told my wife he did very well and gave her all the important information. And was vey articulate for a four year old. I don’t want to call him a serial 911 caller but my daughters reaction when she found out, “finally, he did it to someone else!”
