Ohio toddler helps fallen father by calling 911. Thanks, SpongeBob

Yes. You read that right. SpongeBob is actually educational, at least for this sharp 3-year-old boy from Ohio. According to Fox 8 News in Cleveland, Vincent Lamitie was home alone with his dad when his father passed out and fell down the stairs. Here is the 911 audio with a video of the Lamitie family recounting the event. When asked how he knew what to do in the emergency situation, Vincent replied, "Sponge Bob calls 911."

Great story! However, I'm not sure I buy it. Have you ever watched SpongeBob? Never in a million years did I ever think that a child would learn anything from a sponge who works as a fry cook at a burger joint. Kudos to Nickelodeon to sneaking in the subliminal message somewhere in between Plankton trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula and Patrick falling over something.

My wife and I currently only have cell phones, and there is no way even my 6 year-old could figure out how to call 911 on my BlackBerry. We have been debating getting a land line just in case of emergency, and this story may have sealed the deal.

Good boy, whatever his name is.

God I hate how stories like this report "SpongeBob SquarePants" or "Patrick Star" and then, like whoever doesn't know who that is, say "the fry cook who works at the Krusty Krab" "cheap boss Mr. Krabs" "idiot, but loyal, friend". An awful habit they all share.

Good boy, Vincent. *throws candy* "Bark bark :3"
