Brace yourselves, folks, because this is almost too friggin' adorable to handle.
A 911 call can be a scary thing, and an emergency call from a dad having chest pains and trouble breathing is no exception. But thankfully, an exchange between that dad's 5-year-old daughter and 911 dispatcher Jason Bonham turned out to be more humor than horror. If you missed hearing the recording that has repeatedly gone viral since 2010, you have to hear it now. It's perfectly timeless.
When an Indiana dad used his cell phone to called 911 and couldn't talk, his daughter Savannah picked up the phone. Remaining remarkably calm, cool, and collected, the articulate 5-year-old expertly answered Bonham's questionsand added her own hilarious commentary as well.
At Bonham's request, she made sure the front door was unlocked so the emergency crew could get in. She told him about their dog, Lou Lou, who was "small" and "barks a lot," but was "friendly." She consoled her dadwho may have been in the middle of a heart attackwith "Don't worry, Dad," and "Stay calm, Dad." She also kept the dispatcher up to speed on what was happening, repeatedly saying, "So far, so good."

Kind of person we need in Oval Office. President for 2044! No emotional self-serving snowflakes.

All I remember about myself at that age is that I was very giggly and full of imagination.

This little girl is so freaking smart, caring and in control. She gets it's a bad situation, but she's handling it for her daddy, out of love.
