Out of the mouths of babes

Don't you just love the things children say?

We were trying to teach our son what to do in an emergency so we took part in some role play. He was obviously playing himself and Daddy was the phone operator. The scenario: Mummy had fallen down the stairs and was unconscious. Grandma & Grandad (our neighbours) were out so C needed to call for help.

C dialled 999 

N: Emergency services, what service do you require?

C: Ambulance please.

N: I'll just put you through.

N: Ambulance service, how can I help?

C: Ermmmmm, errrrrr

As you can see we weren't getting very far. At this point our 6 year old daughter walked in so we thought we'd get more success with her.

N: Listen to Molly call for an Ambulance Charlie.

N: Emergency services, what service do you require?

M: Ambulance please.

N: I'll just put you through.

N: Ambulance service, how can I help?

M: Errrr....

N: What's your name?

M: Sophie (?!)

N: Who needs an ambulance?

M: Ermmmmm. I'm not sure what she's called. (I'm losing faith here!!)

N: That'd be Mummy!

M: Yes, my Mummy fell down the stairs and won't wake up.

N: Okay, we'll get an ambulance to you. What's your address?

M: Gives address (We're on a roll now)

N: Okay, stay on the phone Molly and someone will be with you soon. Is anyone else in the house with you?

M: Yes, my baby brother and my Dad.

N: Your Dad??

M: Yes my Dad.

N: Okay, why can't your Dad help your Mummy?

M: He's sitting on the sofa on his laptop.

That last line says so much about my husband. More than he'd ever want to admit!! We were in fits of laughter. Bless her little cotton socks.
