Little Becky is a famous Irish prankster who became famous in her homeland (and on the Internet) for making crank calls to all kinds of victims and luminaries. Rebecca Barry, who is now in her 13th year, made the following calls when she was just eight or nine years old, as part of Dublin's 98FM radio team. She managed to prove that children really are little monsters, even if they have a sweet Irish accent.
1. Preparation to Be A Footballer's Wife Takes Years
In this sound clip, Becky makes a phone call to the Premier League club Everton, which is based in the British city of Liverpool. Becky has decided that when she grows up, instead of being a nurse or a teacher, she wants to be a WAG (Wife and Girlfriend) of a football player. (It could be worse, she could want to be a blogger.)
Of course she automatically decides David Beckham is the optimum choice of husband for a wannabe wag. Even eight-year-old girls see nothing but perfection in the LA Galaxy safe-key holder.
2. French Hotels Do Not Care About American Divas
Becky decides she is going to call some random hotel in France and tell them she is Mariah Carey and that she wants to make a reservation. Naturally, an eight-year-old Irish girl has the same accent as a 39-year-old American singer. The problem is, Becky has slightly less "crazy" in her voice.
Of course the French reservation staff have Becky worked out from the beginning. If it had actually been Mariah Carey, her first words would have been "Is your hotel pink?" followed by "Do you have butterflies on the carpets?" and finally "Does your hotel accept pets, as I might bring Nick along?" Either that, or the sound of a very frightened PA whispering on the phone whilst Mimi is screaming in the background for more pink M&Ms, while insisting the Ms stand for "Mariah."
3. What Every Child Dreams About Apart From Christmas
This final soundbite of Becky is her best piece of her work. She basically calls a demolition company and starts asking for quotes regarding the rapid destruction of her much-hated school, and whether it includes multiple homicide as an option. You do not want to be her teacher.
Eight years old, going on eighty. "Fill your boots man." Nothing this funny has come out of a child's mouth since Little Jimmy Osmond sang "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool" in 1972 (he had short hair, he's not from Liverpool, he was 9 years old, it's just all so wrong):
