Typically, we advise our children to dial 911 anytime they want assistance. However, this kid elevated the lesson to a whole new level!
The child decided to call someone for assistance because he was having trouble with his homework. He picked up the phone and dialled 911, which was the only number he knew. Is it accurate to say that this number is related to those who require assistance? Yes. He was probably correct somewhere too…
The answering operator started posing the usual questions. After a considerable misunderstanding, the operator realized that the child actually struggles with math problems.
Below you can find the full conversation that they had on the phone. This is pretty hilarious, we laughed a lot. At the end of the article, you can find the YouTube video as well.
