A little guy in the Phoenix area got hungry the other day and he decided to call 911 to order some food. The operator says 5-year-old Charlie Skabelund wanted to order a Happy Meal from McDonalds.

The boy's dad, Randy Skabelund, called a dispatcher and informed them that his son must have gotten a hold of his cell phone to make the call, but that he was well cared for and not in desperate need of food.

The officer who showed up to answer the call brought with him a Happy Meal but he also had a talk with Charlie about when it's appropriate to call 911.

The boy's mom, Kim Skabelund, says police handled the situation with "love and kindness."
