A boss wondered why one
of his most valued employees had phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent
problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home
phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.
"Hello."
"Is your daddy
home?" he
asked.
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with
him?"
The child whispered,.... "No."
Surprised and wanting to
talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is
your Mommy there?"
"Yes."
"May I talk with
her?"
Again the small voice
whispered,..... "No."
Hoping there was somebody
with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
"Yes," whispered the child, ...."a policeman".
Wondering what a cop
would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked,...... "May I speak with the
policeman?"
"No,.... he's
busy", whispered the child.
"Busy doing
what?"
"Talking to Daddy
and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as
he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the
phone, the boss asked, "What
is that noise?"
"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on
there?" demanded
the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the
child answered, "The
search team just landed the helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned and a
little frustrated the boss asked, "What
are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the
young voice replied with a muffled giggle:
"ME."
