When Devrim was naughty (he doesn't fall for it anymore though, shame!) i used to pick up the phone dial an absurd number and talk to the police telling them to come and get Devrim because he was naughty. Mind you i was speaking in Turkish as that was the language he would understand then. I would get him to listen to the voice over on the other side saying "p o 7 8 3 your call could not be connected, please check the number and try again". He wouldn't know what they were saying, he thought i really called the police and would behave. He never questioned why they never came though.
Now he uses that scare tactic on us when we misbehave by him. He says "i'm gonna call the police and tell them that my mummy and daddy are being naughty and to come and get them!"
