It kind of was my fault and wasn't at the same time.

On my way back home from the tropics, I called at her house for a few. She decided to make the most of it, and left me babysitting her 14 month old son. My nephew and I get on like a house on fire. I can make him go silly in a matter of minutes. I let him play in my car, mess around with video games, and pretty much do anything he likes, as long as it isn't dangerous and doesn't involve pulling the dog's penis like a yard of elastic - the dog doesn't like it that much.

My nephew loves telephones of all kinds. He gets a kick out of pretending to talk into them... so I let him play with the phone. He kept pushing buttons, shouting, "Hiya!!!" and bursting out laughing - and it gave me a fit of the giggles, too... so I let him.

Today, my sister had a visit from a policeman... because a prank 999 call had been made from her land line.

Oh dear. 14 months old, and the police are already calling round. That doesn't bode well. :rolleyes:

Still, it was kind of funny! :devil:
 
Evil evil Auntie :devil: :p

I taught my nephew how to say "Eat my shorts!" Which was fine until he said it to their pastor. I didn't go over there for a few weeks after that.

That's why the emergency number in the US is 911 -- it's less likely to be dialed by children playing with the phone. Not completely imposible to dial by randomly pressing numbers;my ex got a visit from the police for the same reason when her daughter was about two (my daughters' half-sister.)

You are such a baaaaaaaad influence.
I think its good that you are getting out of teaching.
I don't think teaching could cope with you any longer.

Let me offer you some comfort, my daughter (at about 2 ish) rang 999 from my mother in laws house. they rang her back because my daughter just babbled in the background and they were worried it was a real emergency -my mother in law was mortified *L*
 
My brother dialed 911 as a baby and luckily enough the call center called back just to check and Mom explained with several embarrassed apologies. This, however, did not compare to the time he dialed China.
:eek:
It was interesting to listen to, to say the least.

Did I ever tell you about the time when this poor old woman somewhere in Sweden got a phone call from a dirty breather, and got very upset and scared, only to find out that the caller in question was my by then 2-years-old nephew, who was very excited that someone said "hello" to him in the weird phone thingy after he had pressed a lot of buttons like he had seen mommy do...(?)
 
Lol! :) I'm glad I'm not the only one this has happened to. I'm still slightly in the dog house for letting him call 999, but in a few days I'm sure my sister will see the funny side.

Besides - accidents happen. When I was at uni, I had to enter this long access number every time I wanted to use my phone line to hook up to the internet. I entered the wrong number once, and suddenly heard this foreign voice coming out of my computer. It wasn't until I got my phone bill that I realised I'd called a number in Vietnam... at a rate of £3.00 a minute :rolleyes:

We all live and learn... :devil:

Mat, I guess you have a point :rolleyes: - but do you know what? Despite my unorthodox ways, I still got fucking good exam results for my classes. Still, any more time working in education and I think I would have ended up doing or saying something really outrageous. :p
