The boss wondered why one of his employees was absent but had not phoned in sick. So he dialed the employee‘s home phone number and was greeted with a child‘s whisper.
‘ Hello ? ‘
‘Is your daddy home?’
‘ Yes, he’s out in the garden ,’ whispered the small voice. ‘
May I talk with him?’
The child whispered, ‘ No .’ ;
So the boss asked, ‘Well, is your Mommy there?’
‘ Yes, she’s out in the garden too ‘
& The boss asked; ‘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, ‘Well, may I speak with the policeman?’
‘ No, he’s busy. ‘ whispered the child.
‘Busy doing what?’
‘ Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the police dog men. ‘
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background, the boss asked, ‘What is that noise?’
‘ It’s a helicopter. ‘ answered the whispering voice.
‘What is going on there?’ demanded the boss, now truly worried.
‘ The search team just landed a helicopter. ‘
‘A search team?’ said the boss. ‘What are they searching for?’
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle, ‘ Me! ‘
