Manny dialed the only number he knew off the top of his head, and one that he assumed would put him in touch with the right people to get him some pizza: 911. “I want you to bring me a pizza please,” the little boy told the 911 dispatcher. Madonna came into the room just in time to hear him talking to the operator and in a panic, hung up the phone. Seconds later the phone rang again.
That’s when this story takes an unusual yet heartwarming turn. Instead of giving the child a stern lecture the police officers went out and bought Manny the cheese pizza he’d wanted in the first place! By that time Manny and Madonna’s mother Faten Adel had returned home, and while she probably wasn’t pleased with her son’s mistake they all had a good laugh thanks to the officers’ efforts.
After the story made the news and went viral online, the family decided to express their gratitude for the officers’ kindness in the most appropriate (and tasty!) way they could think of. Faten and her three children ordered several pizzas and personally delivered them to the Sanford Police Department.
