October 12, 2009Kid corner: hilarious cell phone word game

Filed under: Kids by merylrunion |

The Detective Mom tells of what can happen when you ask a cell phone to call some pretty odd names. Here’s part of her post.

One of the kids sneezed when my husband was trying to use voice activated dialing, and the automated phone lady said, “Did you say Call Kris?” My kids were very much amused that a sneeze was mistaken for my name. Which led to a game that entertains them to this day.

Kid: Call an idiot.
Automated voice: Did you say
Call Joe Schmidt?

Kid: Call Booger Brain.
Automated voice: Did you say
Call Doug Main?

Kid: Call Mommy’s butt.
Automated voice: Did you say
Call Pizza Hut?

Words can sure be entertaining!
