We were new in a foreign country and due to difference of time
I called my parents at night.
To call the code and number is like this 91145678890.
It is not real number but the first 3 digits are same to dial any number .
We stayed in their house for five months.
And I was using their cordless phone as they gave permission to use it if I wanted.
One night as I was trying to call my family in India, I dialed 911 and hanged up .
I changed my mind not to call. It was late so I went to bed.
In few minutes door bell rang as this number is called in case of emergency.
My whole family woke up to see who came at such odd hour outside , and they saw two policemen asking what happened ?
I did not know what happened either and my sister in law explained
about my stupid mistake . They warned me not to do it again and I
felt sorry to all family for disturbing their sleep in the middle of night.
Thank God they went back without giving any ticket.

This was a great story. I’m sure it was horrible at the time, but I hope you can laugh about it now because it really is pretty funny. I saw that coming as soon as you said the number started with 911, but that’s only because I’ve grown up here my whole life, and that was the first phone number I learned.
Great writing!
Thank you!
