A boss wondered why one of his most valued
employees had not come to work or phoned in sick.
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 earpiece 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."
