HILARIOUS: Preschooler Pretends To Be His Own Dad After Calling 911

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office shared an adorable reminder about teaching kids how and when to call 911, after getting a hilarious call from a little boy.

Parents, remember to teach you child how and when to dial 911. by ArapahoeSO on YouTube

When the dispatcher answered the 911, she probably wasn't expecting to speak to a boy named Isaiah -- or "his dad." But when she asked the address of the emergency, a young boy answered hesitantly.

"Um, maybe you can go to my preschool and check out how good it is?" Isaiah says.

"Is it OK if I hang up on you?" he asks.

"No, don't hang up on me. Are your parents home?" the dispatcher asks. "Can I talk to your mom or your dad?"

Isaiah agrees to let her talk to his dad, and pauses just a heartbeat before lowering his voice and saying, "Hello. This is Isaiah's dad."

"Oh, Isaiah I know it's still you!" the dispatcher answers.

On Facebook, the sheriff's office said the call made their day.

"However, it's also a reminder to parents to please teach your child how and when to dial 911," officials wrote.
