in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main
computers, he dialled 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 a loud noise in the background
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 a 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 .."
