Everything on the internet is real… to a 5yr old. After watching a parody video featuring Dr. Seuss’ infamous grouchy character, TyLon Pittman felt it was his civic duty to call the local Byram, MI and help them to stop the Grinch from stealing Christmas.
The boy’s father caught him mid-report and profusely apologized to the 911 operator who said with a compassionate giggle, “it’s fine… it’s definitely been the most interesting thing that’s happened” during her time on the job.
Just to be safe, Officer Lauren Develle reported to the Pittman household and went over the proper procedures with TyLon in case the Grinch does attempt his “wonderful, awful idea.”
