Last Tuesday, the police in Mount Pleasant got a funny emergency call from a little boy. He told them, “Come get my mommy!” The person answering the phone asked, “Where do you live?” The boy just said, “My mommy’s been bad.”
The police recorded everything with their cameras. When they got to the house, the boy’s mom opened the door, surprised to see them. She explained to the phone person, “My four-year-old got the phone! We tried to stop him because he said he’d call 911. I ate his ice cream.” Then she hung up.
Even though it was a silly call, the police had to check on the family. Sometimes when people hang up, it could mean something’s wrong, so they always make sure everyone is safe.
When the mom saw the police at her door, she said, “Oh wow, the police really came!” She told them her smart little boy used Siri on her phone to call. The boy wasn’t kidding—he told the officers his mom should be in trouble for eating his ice cream.
The police didn’t want to get the mom in trouble, so they asked the boy, “Would you rather have ice cream instead?” He thought about it and said yes, ice cream sounded better.
Two days later, the police came back with a special treat for the boy—two scoops of ice cream with blue sprinkles! He was happy, and it was a fun way to fix his ice cream problem. Everyone ended up smiling, and the boy got his sweet justice!
