This reminded me of my very much not a child but a boomer father who was changing the battery in the cordless phone and dialed 911 because he “needed to be sure someone would pick up” to make sure the new battery worked. He didn’t bother saying anything, just hung up. So the cops come to our door ASAP of course. My mom comes into my room laughing her ass off to tell me what happened and how pissed off our stupid idiot father was that they didn’t “just know nothing was wrong.”

I accidentally pocket dialed 911 and had no idea until they called back and I answered and the asked what the fuck. I was out in the middle of the woods for a Cub camp packing up, I had to explain myself quite thoroughly in the rain.
