In general, we advise our children to dial 911 in the event that they require assistance. However, one child elevated the lesson to a whole new level!
The boy decided to ask for assistance because he was having trouble with his homework. He picked up the phone and dialed 911, the only number he knew. Are the individuals on this number truly in need of assistance? Yes. I also believe that he was correct somewhere.
The answering operator started posing the usual queries. After a long time of misunderstandings, the operator realized that the child actually struggled with math.
You can listen to their complete phone conversation here. We laughed a lot and found this to be quite funny. At the end of the article, you can also access the YouTube video.
