Phone Call From My Grandson

January 29, 2008 05:48 PM EST

My cell phone rang today, and when I answered it, I heard the sound of buttons being pushed, and then "I need help." The caller ID indicated that the call was from my daughter's phone, and I started to get a little worried when I just heard some rustling after the declaration of needing help. "Hello, Lacey?" I questiond, "hello?" And then I heard the surprised voice of my four-year-old grandson, "It's Grandma Beanie!" as if he had no idea why he could hear me talking to him through the phone.
He had apparently made off with the cell phone, which he had stolen from the counter, and accidentally hit my number on the speed dial. Both he and his Momma were pretty surprised that Grandma was on the phone! TeeHee!!! At least he didn't accidentally call 911 and say "I need help"!

that's cute! My son did that not long ago. He had the cordless (I thought the keys were locked) and hit redial. I heard him say "HI Nahma!" all surprised, but thought he must be just playing. He then asked her "What Annie Dawa doin?" and then looked puzzled for a minute and said "Mama cookin," "Ok" and then he handed the phone to me and told me it was for me. I started to put it down when I saw that it was on. I picked it up, and it really was my mom! lol

I guess he missed you:)

Kids are funny with these cell phones. My two went through a brief phase when they realized that dialing 911 could bring the police to the house. So when we moved to a rural town this past summer and got settled into the house....unbeknownst to me they decided to try it out because "we never see any policeman anymore"-SIGH. Had to have the talk.-LOL The sheriff was great and evidently they get it more than I knew.

One night about 2 a.m. my 2-year-old niece called. At first I thought it was my 6-year-old niece, because she said, so plainly, "Hello, Aunt Beth." I said, "Hi, Hayley, aren't you supposed to be in bed?" When she started laughing and talking gobbledygook, I realized it wasn't Hayley, it was her baby sister, Grace. "Okay, I gotta go now." I said. Then I hung up and called her mother. My sister didn't have a clue that she was even up, let alone on the phone.
It's kind of funny and kind of scary a little bit, huh?

oh geeze, how cute
Sassy Cat Jan 29, 2008, 6:06pm EST
How sweet! Kids do the darndest thing.
Amanda T. Jan 29, 2008, 6:27pm EST
So Cute! My son has done the same thing several times.
Stacie N. Jan 29, 2008, 6:28pm EST
Something similar happened to my boss. She thought it was so funny.
Leah Christensen Jan 29, 2008, 6:29pm EST
A very amusing story.
Debby C. Jan 29, 2008, 6:33pm EST
Hee hee hee....they are little pistols aren't they!! At least there was somebody on the other end. I tend to get calls from my guys pocket! Drives me nuts, usually he is working and somehow hit the right button or redial...I can hear hammers swinging away and the guys talking....funny and annoying all at the same time!

That's cute. The funniest story we had -- while working for the phone company -- was when the parents found the little one has somehow phoned Germany and somehow was speaking to the recipients of the call.

Hahahahahahahhaha!

Of course, I followed up to adjust the charges when the bill came.
I told the parents that they should have let the little one continue talking.
German language lessons for FREEEE.
How can you beat, "for free."

When I lived in California and my daughter was only about a year and a half old, I caught her playing on the phone, I didnt think much of it, I hung it up and went about my business. When I got the next monthsphone bill I had a charge to China...no joke! I have no idea how in the heck she did it, but she did!! I wish I would have saved it to show her!! LOL

Too cute!
Mary M. Jan 29, 2008, 7:22pm EST
That is so cute! Thanks for sharing this.
Margaret G. Jan 29, 2008, 7:28pm EST
That's pretty cute. We had a similar story at work. Our boss asked one of the girls why she kept calling her and hanging up over the weekend Seems her nephew had gotten hold of the cell phone and kept calling our boss on speed dial. Good thing she has a sense of humor.
Andrea "slackermom" R. Jan 29, 2008, 7:38pm EST
My son called everyone in my contact list and screamed then hung up. When he called my sister and did this she was a bit worried until moments later her daughter's phone rang and he screamed and hung up. Next was my mother's phone.

Too bad my veterinarian, doctor, etc. were also in my phone book.
Trish A. Jan 29, 2008, 8:05pm EST
I'm so glad this is funny news!
Paidra Delayno Jan 29, 2008, 8:26pm EST
I've heard of this happening but in that case the little one did call 911. A deputy sheriff had to come out to the house and make sure everything was all right.
Debby O. Jan 29, 2008, 8:27pm EST
lol
Brian T. Jan 29, 2008, 8:35pm EST
What a nice surprise.
Larry M. Jan 29, 2008, 8:51pm EST
I hope she takes better care of her phone. That sort of thing can be dangerous. Picture some elderly person who gets such a call with a scream or "I need help" or other frightening message.
Deb D. Jan 29, 2008, 9:03pm EST
Haha! Kids are great!
Janet "Jax" B. Jan 29, 2008, 9:14pm EST
It's a little funny, but you're right, if he has accidently called 911..oh my.
Karolyn Q. Jan 29, 2008, 9:30pm EST
Good thing he didn't call 911. I couldn't imagine!
Whitney A. Jan 29, 2008, 9:44pm EST

When I was a kid, the only person I could get was the operator...

I think many more surprising moments are ahead of you!
Priscilla P. Jan 30, 2008, 1:13pm EST
Aren't grandkids the absolutely CUTEST THINGS ever! Bless his little heart.
V S. Jan 30, 2008, 3:32pm EST
Funny! Our grandson called 911 when he was staying with us. He was in preschool and they had learned about 911, so he tried it out. We didn't know he did it until the deputy sheriff showed up. The first thing our grandson said was - "I didn't want you! I wanted the fireman!" Good thing he was a friend!! He was really good about it and talked to our grandson about only using 911 for a real emergency. We had a good laugh about it later.
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Jan 30, 2008, 4:37pm EST
That's too funny.
Kim M. Jan 30, 2008, 8:49pm EST
That's really cute! My dad's cell phone decided to call me late at night a few months ago. He was sleeping with it in his pocket and moved and it called me. Scared the crap out of me to get a call like that! He hung up and didn't realize it had called me. I called him back and he was so embarrased!
Emma L. Jan 31, 2008, 12:50am EST
How cute!
Cookie Queen K. Jan 31, 2008, 4:13am EST
Kids are quick, and they will grab anything to play with, I would put things up a bit higher, and work on being a bit faster, than this little cookie snatcher! he sounds like he keeps everyone on there toes. Thanks for sharing!
William Dotani Jan 31, 2008, 3:12pm EST
That's so cute. I hope he does understand what 911 is for.
Sherine W. Jan 31, 2008, 5:05pm EST
Sounds like a lot of other people have had the same experience! Keeping things out of Gabriel's reach is a bit challenging...he knows about chairs, and their ability to make him taller

That is neat.
Cynthia W. Feb 2, 2008, 11:52am EST
LOL, that's great, too cute!
Lacey K. Feb 2, 2008, 8:30pm EST
Yes, I was a bit surprised he got you too. :)
Beth L. Feb 3, 2008, 10:27pm EST
Yikes! Cute story!
arlene (no shame in my game) w. Feb 6, 2008, 10:46am EST
That's cute! I once received a phone call from my niece and patiently listened to her order a meal in a restaurant before she realized something in her purse had hit a speed dial button.
Barb (Gather Site Ferret) Carlson Feb 8, 2008, 11:59pm EST
My friend's pants call me all the time! She bends over and next thing she knows, I'm talking out of her pocket, "Hellooooooo! Anyone out there???" LOL! I was lucky that my kids never called the police, but then for a long time 911 didn't work in my area.
denise e Feb 20, 2008, 9:33pm EST
cute, good thing he only called you
Risa G. Mar 10, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
