Are you able to speak freely?

Don't answer the question because it's not for you...........it was a question I was asked.

I wanted to blog about our experience at a birthday party and other funny things the
girls' say and do because that's what this blog is all about..... right?

Well, that's not gonna happen today because something else happened. Something I thought would never happen, but I guess I should never say 'never' because today it happened. I am now wondering how the heck it happened.......okay okay I'll get to the point in a second. Seriously how did she do it. Do you have any idea of who I am talking about? Nope not Velani. Of course it's Mia. It has to be Mia.

Before I go on and tell you what happened I have to tell you a little about Mia. She has been by far the most curious of both of my girls. She loves exploring and being in things she shouldn't be in. If we say no or stop she does the total opposite and she does it with a smirk on her face. She is good at getting away with anything because she is the baby and let's just face it she is just TOO DARN CUTE!!

So as I was sitting on the couch with Velani by my side, watching cartoons, I was on the computer checking out Facebook and getting ready to write today's blog.....not this one remember? and Mia was well, being Mia.......exploring and being curious............ and she had taken off with my cell phone. Then I heard a little noise and when I turned around I saw her in her room playing with my phone so I got up and took it away from her and I noticed the screen said something like emergency I don't remember because I took it away and quickly cleared the screen back to the main page or screen, whatever, and I came back to sit on the couch and as I was logging in my phone rang and it was a 435 area code which is here in Saint George. When I answered I immediately knew.......the man on the other end said, "911 what is the address to your emergency?" I said in a calm voice, "I am sooo sorry my daughter was playing with my phone." He then replied with the question, "Are you able to speak freely?" and my response was "Yes and I am sorry." He then went on to say, "Ok well just be sure to lock your phone next time." I said "Ok and thank you."

I cannot believe my 13 month old dialed that emergency number and HOW? I checked my phone and there isn't an outgoing call to 911. I tried checking my cell phone to see where that emergency screen is and I can't find it. It's a mystery..........ok not really, but out of all the numbers it had to be THAT ONE.

So now I go back to the call I received. I keep thinking about that one question and I am just thankful for our country. I don't know if that happens anywhere else.......I think it doesn't, but anyways I just kept thinking about why they ask that question and know that there are so many victims out there that aren't able to speak freely and it's a way to safely let that person respond if they're in any type of danger. Let me just say that I was surprised by this question that I actually had to think about it..........no just kidding. I felt so nervous afterwards that I guess it was because I got to thinking about the true emergency calls they get and well, they don't know what is going on on the other end of the line.

So there you have it. I guess I'll blog about the cute stuff next time. Mia still has alot to learn, but I know I learned something today: No more girls' playing with my phone.......Never and ever!!!

P.S. here is a pictures of Mia's famous shoes I talked about and how she is obsessed with wearing

them.

Velani and Mia playing with chalk. Do you notice Mia's curious face? believe me she is being curious. I'll post the picture that proves it next time.

My little beauties!
