Boy Gets 911 Help By Singing Address
A heartwarming story to end the week is this report of a four-year-old in Indiana whose mother fell down a flight of stairs and knocked herself unconscious. Alex Hayes called 911, and sang the song that his mother had taught him a few days before to help him remember his new address.
His mother, who was not hurt in the fall, later said, "I took child development in high school, and there I learned if you teach a child any kind of music or a rhyme, they will actually pick it up quicker. I taught him his phone number, his address and he knows how to spell several words because of the songs.”
