Ahh, and another one I just remembered. When my son was still a baby,,not walking yet but able to pull up and walk himself around the edges of the bed, couch, etc, he was over by the nightstand where we have the phone and reached up and pushed the phone off onto the floor with one hand and it landed upside down. It was one of those phone with the great big buttons on top. I didn't even think about it and just scooped up the phone, put the handset back in its cradle and set it back on the nightstand and I no longer took my hand off of it and it rang. I answered it and it was 911 dispatch and they asked me if there was an emergency because they had just recieved a call from our number. Apparently the way the phone landed it got the numbers 911 in there enough to get the call to go through. They took my name and stuff and didn't sound very convinced, but we found it pretty funny afterwards.
