When a mom of a 4-year-old boy in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin ate her son’s ice cream,  he decided to teach her a lesson, so he called 911. Tuesday, March 11 2025, a little boy called to say his mom had to be locked up due to her eating his ice cream. “My mommy is being bad,” the 4-year-old said to the dispatcher. “Okay, what’s going on?” the dispatcher asked. “Come and get my mommy,” the boy replied. The mother then took the phone from her son and said to the dispatcher, “Oh, this little one got the phone, and he’s four. I ate his ice cream, so that’s why he’s calling 911.” In the background of the call the son can be heard continuing to argue about the situation.

The officers went to the family’s home to ensure the purported ice cream theft wasn’t a cover up for a more serious situation. When they arrived, the boy confirmed his mom ate his ice cream and again demanded she went to jail for it. After a while, the little boy agreed to not press charges, telling them he didn’t want his mom behind bars and that he just wanted his ice cream. Two days later the officers obligated, surprising the young boy with two scoops of ice cream topped with blue sprinkles.
