When my kids were younger, they accidentally dialed "911" and the police came to our house to make sure nothing was wrong (and then delivered a deserved lecture). Well, my oldest son forgot to do his homework that night, so he seized on the available excuse. The next day he told his teacher he couldn't do his homework because the police were at his house, and she nodded sympathically "I understand, family problems". I was the room parent for this class and was so embarassed when my son came clean with this.
