A 3-year-old called 911 when her mom collapsed, because just days earlier the little angel’s mother had taught her the “911 Green” song. Not sure what the lyrics to that song are, but I really think that’s a swell idea. Little kids LOVE songs and what better way to get them to retain vital information that could be useful during an emergency?
I’ve written some ditties that could really come in handy in a crisis – feel free to teach these to your little ones!
DADDY’S HEART WENT BOOM
When Daddy grabs his arm
He’s probably gettin harmed
By a coronary
It’s very very scary
So give him a Bayer
But don’t blow air
Into his lungs no
Don’t wanna blow
Cuz the American Heart Association
Recently made a statement
That chest compressions alone
Is the only method they condone
So make sure you get it right
Or daddy he will die!
THE WILDERNESS IS FUN
A big big rock went bang bang bang
Mommy’s trapped and screaming in pain
Baby has to run and find a ranger
But Baby can fight all kinds of danger
Start a fire and find fresh water
Use a compass, now you’re getting hotter!
Don’t eat those berries, they’ll turn your poo green!
That bear looks nice but I tell you, he’s mean!
Find the road and tell them about mommy,
And when we get home I’ll give you a pony!
BABY TRACHEOTOMY DANCE
Mommy ate too much popcorn
She’s lookin all blue and forlorn
Baby’s too small to do the Heimlich
But Baby knows the perfect trick
Make a small incision in mommy’s neck
Make sure not to hit the jugular
Make a curvilinear skin incision
along relaxed skin tension
lines between sternal notch
and cricoid cartilage!
Stick a straw into mommy’s neck hole
Breathe into the straw and go
Ooooh! Baby Tracheotomy Dance!
Ooooh! Baby Tracheotomy Dance!
Ooooh! Baby Tracheotomy Dance!
