Lissa woke up this morning, VERY early, to find that the Ostara bunny had been here. She was so excited. Moon had send her a pretty basket with a stuffed bunny and candies (thanks, Moon) and I added to it with a big chocolate bunny and a few trinkets. She was delighted that the bunny had hidden plastic eggs all over the house too. She looked so cute in her messy Pipi Longstocking braids with the dog barking at her heels as she hunted eggs and filled another basket. *
I was tired, the whole thing exhausted me, but, her joy was infectious. After she wolfed down some cereal, she begged to go outside and check for more eggs. I tried telling her there were none, it's too cold out. She finally wore me down and I let her go out. I could hear and see her, she was right by the door. Dressed in a furry pink vest and matching pink Ostara shirt. Warm enough, since it's sunny though snowy. I decided to use my 3 minutes of peace to go brush my teeth and wash up. When I came out, and I mean 3 minutes later, she was still playing by the door. I got a cup of coffee and came over to the desk to sit down and I heard a car pull in. I thought it might be her mom, early..but, no. When I opened the door a cop was standing there. He asked me if I dialed 911? I said no. Lissa piped up and said "I did! I called you!"

Holy crap. The police officer asked her what her emergency was and she told him. She'd found giant bunny tracks in the snow. She expected a full investigation. Instead he gave her a lecture about the boy who cried wolf. She was unimpressed and said "So, I can call 911 if I see a wolf?" No, that's not what he meant. Geeeyawd. I'd had enough and I grabbed her arm and said you are not allowed to use my phone without permission. And she said "I didn't, I used Tuwella's" She's quick, I'll give her that.

So, the officer told her 911 is for emergencies only and she got pissed and said "You don't think a giant rabbit is a 'mergency? What is wrong with you people??"

She finally gave him a reluctant "sorry", but, I doubt she meant it. When he informed me it's not even Easter and I told him it's Spring Solstice or Ostara he wrote something in his little note book and left. I think I'm on a watch list now. As for me..I'm over it. It's just another day of life with Lis.

If Kate Gosselin had left her kids outside alone for three minutes while she went in and brushed her teeth, some GWOPPer would call the cops and CPS.
Never a dull moment with little Lissa around. I swear she is little ramona quimby. She cracks me up DD. How is lissa's mom doing? Baby should be here soon right?
Her mom has been having some trouble with this pregnancy and she just got out of the hospital. Now she tells me the baby is due in May. I was like, what? I dunno.
4:48:00 PM, Kate wouldn't have been home anyway. What's yer point?
She's a pistol, that girl. The World According to Lissa. I love her feisty nature. Wonder where she gets it? ;)
I wish the officer could have at least humored Lis. It's not likely she diverted his attention from another emergency; she probably interrupted his donut break. (Not condoning the 911 call but you know what I mean.)
Anon@4:49, Kate doesn't brush her teeth. She has people who do it for her.
DD...don't you know by now, you can not enlighten your local deputies. These guys aren't paid enough to be smart. Around here, they make $1500 a month and $1800 if they passed "Cop School"! Our cops come from 2 categories---the not too smart and the ones that like to fight. The smart ones go on to be state troopers. They get paid a good salary.
You should have told the dude she was practicing for the school egg hunt! Or you had told her the story about the Easter rabbit.
WERE there giant bunny tracks?
Well, there WERE some odd prints. They looked more like a horse to me, but, who knows?
I love it ! That lil girl is a smart & fast as a whip !
She will kick ass and takedown names in life !
Not that I condone messing with the 911
emercency lines but you can see her autonomy
shine brightly through her. That cop has nothing
on lil Lissa. I can see Eric in her too. DD dint
let anyone try to change her or have her conform
she's a very special lil girl indeed ! Kiki =)
LMAO! I can just imagine what the policeman was thinking.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She's a mini Pat. I'm pretty sure Pat was a child that spoke her mind and as we see, so is Lissa. You go girl! Officer, there were giant rabbit tracks!!!
She's getting cuter all the time! She'll be stunning by the time she grows up. Thank goodness she has the intelligence to handle herself. She's certainly quick with a comeback! (Faster than I am, that's for sure.)
Is that Sponge Bob Square Pants on TV in the background?
Nothing like having a strong willed, intelligent, imaginative girl. I am sure her mom will have her hands full when she is in her teens...
Why were you surprised when Lissa's mom said the baby was due in May? Had she given you a different date? Sorry to hear she is going through a difficult pregnancy. I hope all is well.
She is so adorable DD & I love how she looks with her glasses, they're just so her from the pics I've seen. They don't look at all out of place on her like they do with some kids. She makes me think of an old soul in a little girl's body. So much life & imagination in her.
Yep, cop probably wrote you up as some giant bunny worshipping cult who hunts for easter eggs too early. :)
What a great story. Imagine Lissa retelling it in 20 years or so -it's a classic.
That Moon - sending baskets to kids of online friends. She's a sweetie and we all know it.
LMAO!! I think I peed my pants a little, trying to picture the whole scenario with the cop and Lissa being all serious about it. This has made today even more perfect!
Somebody better find that bunny! She's a problem solver.
Jarhead
way to hide behind your "anonymous".Pussies.
Anonymous, fuck you in your neck you cheap piece of shit.
Pickin' on a 5 year old is bad, but, pickin' on a 5 year old who could kick yer ass is pathetic.
I want a kid to celebrate Easter with!!
Mine are too old now. They still want frigging baskets but it is not the same.
The Vegan wont decorate the eggs either!
I need them to hurry up and grow some more so they can give me some grandkids!
ROFL
LMAO! That girl cracks me up!
Its a cute story...I just hopes she really understands the importance of 911 and that it is there to save lives....not investigate giant bunny tracks...lol.
I used to work 911 in NYC. When we would get a child caller we would send a unit to investigate just on the outside chance there might be something going on that the child could not articulate. Most of the time the child was playing with the phone. But there were times where very small children called and were able to tell me that the house is on fire, or the mothers boyfriend is beating the mother and 4 month old baby brother. If they didn't know their address, the PD had a fancy type of caller ID from the phone co. that couldn't be blocked. It showed the phone number, billing name, address, floor and apt. number where the phone was located. The police officers, dispatchers and 911 operators all would rather respond and find out the child was playing on the phone than to assume the child is playing, not respond and find out later something terrible happened.
