Who doesn’t, right? It’s something that we all have experienced regardless of our age.

Even this cute 2-year-old girl has experienced the same thing.

She is from Greenville, South Carolina, who found herself having a hard time putting on her pants.

When this cutie couldn’t get her big girl pants on, she got really frustrated about the whole darn “why do we even have to wear clothes” thing.

But instead of seeking help from her family, the sassy little lady thought it would be better to pick up the phone and call the police for some professional assistance!

Isn’t she clever?

Have you ever had one of those days where you absolutely could not find anything to wear? Even after rummaging through the closet and trying on endless outfits, nothing fits or looks the way you want it to.

Well, that’s what happened to Aaliyah Garett. She managed to get one leg into her pair of pants, but couldn’t quite get finish the task with her other leg.

She really chose reliable people to help her.

Since her mom taught her how to use a cellphone to call 911 in an emergency, she did exactly that. It’s just amazing that she really followed her mom’s teaching.

Deputy Martha Lohnes, who is with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Department, was the one who answered the call about a toddler having “one of those mornings.”

At first, the officers thought that it was just a prank call.

Thankfully, they did not neglect it and took action immediately.

Since Deputy Lohnes was already in Aaliyah’s neighborhood, so had no problem popping in for quick visit to investigate the strange circumstances behind the “emergency.”

He was clueless that his precious granddaughter made the shocking call.

Right around that time is when Aaliya came “running out to the front with half a pant leg on and she’s just like ‘Hey!'” Lohnes recalled.

Aaliyah’s 25-year-old mother, Pebbles Ryan, was at work when the entire incident went down.

At first she was alarmed when her father called to say the cops were at their house, but was relieved after she found out what was really going on. She told ABC News:

“My dad gave me a call and was just like, ‘Your daughter just called the police on me! Then he said Aaliyah wouldn’t let the cop leave and was too busy hugging her.”

Since Deputy Lohnes grew up with two sisters of her own, she totally understood where the cheeky toddler was coming from. Because of this, she knew what to do and how to treat the little girl properly.

Lohnes promptly sat the girl on the stairs and helped her finish getting dressed. That included helping Aliyah tie her shoes!

It’s great that Pebbles taught her the right thing to do in case of an emergency.

It’s just that this wasn’t the kind of emergency that she had in mind. Nevertheless, she was grateful for how the deputy acted amid the situation.

“I’m just grateful for the deputy and her kind, wonderful heart, though. She really took the time out of her day to make sure everything was OK even though she knew it was just a little baby calling. That means a lot to me.”

It’s nice to think that there are officers like Deputy Lohnes who treat every call as important.
