Is it possible that these babies are pressing the emergency speed dial button?

Someone asked me that question (and it's a logical one), but, no. We don't have that button on the phone he was using.
You know what else is interesting about this encounter? The babysitter answered the door as I was rectifying my state of deshabille, and as she knew nothing of how the baby had been playing with the phone, thought someone actually had called the police. She told them that she had given the baby his medicine (he has an ear infection -- poor fella), and he was crying (apparently, it doesn't taste so good), but that she didn't think he'd been crying enough so that a neighbor would have called 911. The police, however, seemed to be inspecting the baby for signs of abuse.
Now, the police know that (1) the call came from my apartment and (2) could see that the baby is quite young (he doesn't really say many words yet). So, who did they think would have made the call in an actual abuse situation? The baby?!? Because... he had read in his baby manual that he should dial 911 in case someone is hurting him?
(That said, I am grateful to the NYPD for showing up, and told them so, and apologized profusely for having them make an unnecessary call -- but, a little logic, please?!?) I'm not really upset about that -- they're just doing their job; I just thought it was sort of amusing.
Also -- that picture of Kate Beckinsdale -- apart from the "ewww" factor -- I would NEVER have guessed that was she. I would have guessed Diane Lane.
