Imagine receiving a 911 call from a child struggling with math homework. Sounds unlikely? Well, it happened, and the conversation is both hilarious and heartwarming.
A young boy, frustrated with his arithmetic problems, dialed the only help number he knew – 911. The operator, expecting an emergency, was surprised to discover the child’s plea for math assistance.
Their amusing exchange went like this:
Operator: 911, what’s your emergency?
Boy: I need help with my math.
Operator: What city do you live in?
Boy: I don’t want to tell you. I just want to talk on the phone.
As the conversation unfolded, the operator patiently tried to understand the child’s math struggles.
Operator: What kind of math problems are you having trouble with?
Boy: Takeaways.
Operator: Okay, what’s the problem?
Boy: 8 minus 16?
The operator gently guided the child through the math, eventually determining his age – a mere four years old.
Just as the operator was about to wrap up, the child’s mother intervened, surprised to find her child seeking math help from 911.
Woman: Johnny, what are you doing?
Boy: Getting math help from the policeman.
Woman: I didn’t mean call the police!
This adorable exchange highlights the creative thinking of children and the patience of 911 operators.
