[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 348593, member: 7083"] The difference between a easy child and a difficult child: When easy child was 11 or 12, he threatened to call 911 because I took his football away - no throwing the football in the house. I hear him pushing buttons on the phone, but he never talked to anyone and went upstairs. I'm in the kitchen yelling upstairs to him, asking him to bring me a flashlight (he and difficult child always seemed to hoard them) when there is a knock at my door. Apparently he *did* dial 911, but hung up immediately. He didn't realize that they send someone out when you do that. (I am so glad that the officer could hear what I was saying when I was yelling upstairs and didn't think I was just screaming at my kid.) The officer gave easy child a lecture, I was standing behind easy child trying not to laugh out loud - shoulders were shaking - and the officer winked at me. The difference? He never did it or threatened to again. (Although, he was technically a easy child/difficult child at the time.) [/QUOTE]
