Let's say the kids phone number is number 1 position and a rock is pressing on it. The phone will dial the number programmed. The people called will hear noise because the handset is crushed. The phone line will disconnect a bit after the kids hang up. Dial tone will return after a bit and the process starts all over again.

Ex telephone man... It used to happen a lot, but with something sticky holding a button down.
