“Did The Piggy Dial 911?”

It’s been a while since I participated in a True Story Tuesday post, so I thought I’d join in today!

My mom.

You all know her and her crazy ways and this story popped into my head yesterday that I had completely forgot about.  I just knew I couldn’t be done making fun of her in the bloggy world!

Go back with me about 12 –14 years ago.

There was this news story that came out about a pot-bellied pig that dialed 911 and saved it’s owner’s life.  I can’t remember if it was local, but I do remember it was big news.

Missy, our pot-bellied pig, was about 3 or 4 years old – so obviously we thought this news story was AMAZINGLY COOL since we knew how smart pigs are.  The fact that I talk to animals is no secret to my blog followers.  Well, my whole family talks to animals.  We have conversations back and forth with them.  It’s quite amusing.

Anyhoodle….after that news story we would always ask Missy if she was going to call 911 – in our normal ‘baby talk’ we use with our animals.

So, one night my mom was in her room and Missy was roaming around in there and she was nudging around on stuff – and she nudged the phone and knocked it over.  Now, this was a land line – land line.  Cord attached to hand receiver – that kind of land line.  Old school all the way.  So, Missy knocks the phone over and is grunting into the phone, so of course my mom gets down on the floor and gets near Missy’s face and starts saying in that cute baby talk:

“Did Missy dial 911?  Did da Piggy dial 911?  Huh?  Did da Piggy dial 911?  She’s so smart!  Yes she is.  She’s a smart piggy.  She’s so….”

Huh?  What was that noise?

Seemingly out of nowhere, we hear my dad’s voice.  As if it’s coming from the heaven’s or something.  But, wait, it appears to be coming from the phone.

Yes.  My dad’s voice WAS coming from the phone.  Why?  Because he was on the phone with a business client, conducting business until they were interrupted by a pig oinking into the receiver and a lady talking like a baby saying:

“Did Missy dial 911?  Did da Piggy dial 911?  Huh?  Did da Piggy dial 911?  She’s so smart!  Yes she is.  She’s a smart piggy.”

“Oink, oink.  Grunt, grunt.”

Yuppers, Real professional.

Way to go Mom!

A day wouldn’t be normal in our family without something like this happening.  If it weren’t for my mom, we’d all live boring lives.  Kinda.
