My Biggest Mistake Was…….

By Lacie

My biggest mistake was letting my sister use the phone when she was seven years old. No adult was there to accompany us. It was a huge mistake!!!

There we were sitting in the house watching TV while my dad was outside shoeing a horse. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Juliann (My little sister) wanted to call my dad. I said fine so she went to go get the phone. She dialed a number she started talking and then she handed the phone to me. "He wants to talk to me?" I asked. "She" Juliann replied. "Who did you call?" "I don't know." she replied. And then I took the phone.

"Hello?" I answered. "Hi" an unfamiliar voice replied. "Who is this?" I asked. She told me Juliann had dialed 9-1-1. "Who is this?" she asked. Miranda I said because my mother always told me to never give my real name. But then I realized I shouldn't have told her that so I told her my real name. She asked me why I said my name was Miranda and I said because I thought she was asking for my mom's name. That was a total lie. I thought your mom's name was Liz she said. It is I thought you were asking for Miranda who is staying here. I lied again.

She said to keep my sister off the phone. I said okay and then she hung up. She had just accused me of something I wasn't responsible for! Then Juliann said she wanted to call dad and I said "Okay just please don't dial 9-1-1 again." She agreed and she started talking and then again handed the phone over again and I took it.

The same voice said she was going to send a deputy over and just about fell over. Ten minutes later my dad came in yelling at Juliann. Juliann was in trouble and the deputy gat delayed so everything turned out okay just a close to regular day at the Jones House.
