When is the right time to teach your kids about when to call 9-1-1? We may start as early as 2 years old or maybe wait for them to be a little bit more matured to fully understand how 9-1-1 works. We may have different opinions but we all have to agree that it is a very important lesson.
This emergency line has saved many lives and is continuing to do so. That’s why it’s very important that our kids learn when to call and to know how to distinguish “emergency” from not-so-important matters.
We do have to agree that there can be many incidents of children calling 9-1-1 and even though they are being thought of the importance of the emergency line, we can’t help but admit that they are all funny!
9-1-1 operators share their funniest calls on Reddit. We’ve gathered 50 stories that are will surely brighten up your day!
1) Breakfast time
2) Fart bomb rescue
3) A whoopie Christmas present
We might all wonder if that present is a new little brother or sister.
4) I just called to say I love you!
Ain’t she the sweetest?
5) Requesting a vegetarian, please!
Operator asked the little kid who called what is the emergency. The little kid answered that he needed a “vegetarian”. Confused, the operator asked the kid again, still the little kid said “vegetarian”. He then said that his dog was sick. That’s the only time the operator understood what the kid meant.
He was looking for a Veterinarian. So the operator explained that that 911 was for human emergencies.
6) Please save Steve!
We’re still wondering if Steve made it.
7) Daddy took his hard-earned Trick or Treat candies.
8) Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
9) In ‘N Out Burger problems
10) A little chat about fortnite
11) Dear 911
12) Big brother won’t let him watch “The Simpsons”
13) We are all safe and alive
The operator called back and was relieved to know that they were all okay and alive – as promised by the little boy.
14) Where is the old man?
Fourteen minutes later the police came and were looking for
“an old man who might have fallen down”. Apparently, the emergency line operator had asked several questions, but the only response she had gotten was labored, heavy breathing that she thought was an old man who was in need of help.
After figuring out what happened, the kid met the police officers and one of them just said, “Yeah, that’d be the perp. Look at the guilty look on his face.”
15) Craving for some Doritos
His dad was a State Trooper but the real question here is if he did bring home Doritos.
16) Wrong number
This action seemed suspicious to the operator so they sent someone to the girl’s home. At the exact same time, the girl’s aunt was leaving so the police followed her and pulled her out of the driveway.
Everything was cleared out and all the people involved already got a good laugh.
17) Itsy Bitsy Call
18) What’s for dinner?
19) Free concert
The guy said that he didn’t know how much of his improvised singing about planting flowers they all heard.
As it turns out, this guy also pocket-dialed the phone numbers of his ex-girlfriend, boss, his best friend, and his old boss. They all tried to contact him back to ask why he was singing.
Pretty embarrassing and funny at the same time.
20) Some Debbie snacks please
When the kid was asked who his father was, he was radioed but was unavailable because he was working a fatality. Instead, one of the patrol offices shows up and tells the kid’s mom that her son called 911.
The patrol officer also told the little boy that he can have some Debbie snacks. The father thought it was the cutest mistake – ever.
21) Just 20 minutes alone
A child answers with a hello, and the dispatcher said his spiel, then the child drops the call.
He tried calling back again when a very tired sounding man answers. The operator says his spiel once again and the distraught man denies that he called 911.
After explaining what happened, he shouts the names of his children and asked them about the “call”. Of course, they said no but when daddy told them that the police are on the phone, the operator heard aloud gasp!
“John did it daddy! I told him not to! I can’t go to jail!” She ratted him out immediately. As it turns out poor daddy was home sick with the flu. Mom had run to the store thinking they’d be fine 20 minutes watching TV.
22) Bikini Bottom call
“Emergency 911. What’s the location of your emergency?”
“Is this the Krusty Krab?” (kids laughing in the background)
“No this is Patrick” (hangs up)
This 911 operator sure knows how to respond.
23) A Total misunderstanding
Little kid decides to call 911 and said that he can’t find mommy anywhere!
Operator asks where is the kid’s father and he responded that his dad was outside digging a big whole.
In no time, police came knocking at their door and didn’t leave until Mommy came back.
24) Where’s my grandma?
She went up and asked her mom who was then taking a shower about the police calling and was looking for her grandma.
Well, the kid was grounded from using the phone after.
25) Concerned about mommy
A young boy around 3 years old called 911 because his mommy “wasn’t moving”.
In no time, two EMT and a cop were knocking at the door and were asking questions. Turned out that mommy dearest was just having a “nap” and little boy didn’t know what that was.
Good thing, the boy’s older brother was there to explained what happened.
26) Not too loud!
In no time, units arrive on scene and well, you’ve guessed it right. It was just his parents making the kid a little sibling.
The mother was mortified with embarrassment while explaining.
27) What happened to Barney?
The Barney costume came in sections so when the little girl came inside the room, she was horrified to see Barney in pieces, scattered all over the floor. She called 911 and said that Barney has been murdered and was in pieces in the bedroom.
Helicopter, swat team, and many police officers arrived at the scene of the crime a.k.a big brother’s birthday party to find Barney the dinosaur in the room.
28) Woke up confused
He assumed that they were dead, so he called 911. All the involved people weren’t thrilled.
29) He took it literally
Turns out, he didn’t quite understand how their butts were on fire (because of the friction) because they were sliding down a carpeted stair.
30) A little out of control
This kid who was around 5 years old was playing with all of his toys and made a huge mess so his dad told him to clean all his toys.
The little boy refused and they got into a little discussion and he thought it was appropriate to ask someone to side by him by calling 911.
He reported how his father made him do things that he didn’t want to do.
Which definitely looks like he is reporting some sexual assault incident and this prompted the police to come and visit.
Things were settled but the authorities still recommended that they get help from a social worker.
31) Deep river
32) Brilliant idea
She used a payphone thinking it wouldn’t go through but to her surprise, she saw two fire trucks and some cops in her school.
33) Concerned toddler
Maybe, this cute little girl thought that she can help them if ever they didn’t have enough units.
Mommy was shocked to receive a very interesting call from the operator afterwards.
Adorable and funny!
34) Future police officer
Kid called 911 saying he shot his dog. The operator asked him where his parents were and got the reply that they were on the porch.
So, the operator then asked if his parents heard the gun and the little boy just said no, he added that it doesn’t make any sound when it squirts’.
The operator instructed the kid to call his pet dog and afterwards, all he can hear was a happy kid.
Turns out, this kid has a very smart and trained dog that can play dead when a toy gun is pointed at him. After calling back on the kid’s parents, the operator found out that this little boy wants to be a police officer.
They got invited over, the kid made an apology drawing. Up until today, the drawing is still on the fridge of the station, waiting for him to grow up and become a cop and see his own drawing every day ;)
35) Dreams do come true
This kid remembers having a vivid dream of calling 911, but the operator couldn’t understand anything she was saying.
That morning, her father went inside her room and said that something really weird happened to him last night.
To his surprise, she cut him off and said that something weird happened to her as well.
She told her dad the story and then the father simply said:
“The weird thing that happened to me is that cops showed up at our house at 5 AM!”
36) Guns in the lounge
Since there are very strict gun laws in New Zealand, Granddad didn’t realize what happened until a few cops showed up in bullet proof vests to search the property.
37) Batman’s murder mystery
38) In case there’s a fire
As a part of the Fire department drill, students were instructed what to do in case they see smoke or fire. This kid heard that when he sees smoke, he should grab a phone, call 911 and get on the floor and roll.
The kid came home that day and his mom was taking a batch of burnt cookies out of the oven, immediately, he ran to the phone, called 911, and got on the floor and began rolling.
His mom was confused and took the phone.
39) Steamy cows
It’s just one of the days where Wisconsin temperature are too low.

It was 4th July and he was seeing fireworks and has mistaken them for asteroids.
43) His little baby sister
The police came to investigate and his mom was pretty upset.
44) No excuses
So the little boy couldn’t find a pencil and was so scared that he called 911 sobbing.
“My parents will kill me!”
A dispatcher came and gave the little boy a pencil along with a business card for his parents. We all know what came in afterwards.
45) Where’s the pizza?
A cop came to his house and the little boy cried not because his parents were angry but because he doesn’t understand why there was no ‘pizza’!
46) Mommy’s shower rescue
The mommy had the shock of her life when she heard the police trying to break the door down to come in and rescue her. We all know this kid wouldn’t have access to any phones after this.
