Not to hijack your story ... but during a "time out" my brother also convinced me to call 911. I was around 6, him 8.. again. I chatted with the girl on the other end, don't remember what she said but she asked a lot of questions. My brother told me to tell her to shut up, so I did, multiple times and then hung up.
My Mom got a phone call back and then put us in the corners to wait while the Cops came to pick us up. Apparently pranking the police got you sent to 'little boys prison'. She told us all about how she was going to give our toys away to other boys since we wouldn't need them anymore.
We pleaded with her for hours, but it was no use, the cops were coming and we were doomed. Finally she said alright, the chief of police has agreed to waive the charges if you apologize to him. So I picked up the phone, talked to the chief for a few minutes, I said sorry and he told me not to do it again.
This was over 20 years ago... a few years back I was going through some of my things and I came across a journal my Mom had written about us as children.
She wrote that the lady phoned back and laughed when my Mom explained the situation, but Mom didn't find it as funny.. so she took matters into her own hands. I lived my whole life assuming I had talked with the Chief, I knew that I wasn't going to jail obviously later on... but I still thought the conversation was real. Turns out she had my Great Uncle phone back and pretend to be the Chief, give us a lot of guff and make us promise not to do it again. Well played.
I feel like I have told this story before on here..
