9) Kevin O’Brien: “Liam, age 7, thought our car’s GPS was an all-knowing entity. He kept asking it questions like ‘What should I be when I grow up?’ and ‘Does Santa like chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies better?'”
10) A parent shared the heart-stopping moment when their child, playing with the family’s phone, unintentionally called 911. It resulted in a very polite conversation with a police officer who showed up to check on them—only to leave after being shown the culprit, a giggling 3-year-old.
