Sorry little girl, the police can’t help you

Possibly the funniest thing I’ve read in a while…

From Reuters:

BERLIN (Reuters) - A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.

Pedestrians in the central city of Braunschweig saw the girl crying in the window, holding up a sign up saying “Help! Please call the police!” Next to her sat a small boy. Quickly alerted, officers rushed to the scene to discover the girl had argued with her mother about tidying her room and enlisted her two-year-old brother’s aid to attract attention.

“The room looked like a battlefield,” said a spokesman for local police on Monday. “Officers told the girl to tidy her room. When they came back two hours later to check, it was all cleaned up. And the mother and daughter had made up too.”

    Oh my goodness, it sounds like me. Anytime my mom and I got in a fight or I did not like what she wanted me to do, I would threaten to call the police. She would pick up the phone and start dialing it for me. I would quickly run over to the phone and hang it up and then I would get even madder with my mom because she called my bluff! Oh, the good times… and the fun times you are about to have in the next 18 years Shawn and Joanna!
