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?'<br />'Is your d addy home?' he asked.<br />'Yes ,' whispered the small voice.<br />May I talk with him?'<br />The child whispered, 'No.'<br />Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mommy there?'<br />'Yes.'<br /><br />'May I talk with her?'<br />Again the small voice whispered, 'No.'<br />Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'<br />'Yes ,' whispered the child, ' a policeman '.<br />Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'<br />'No, he's busy ', whispered the child.<br />'Busy doing what?'<br />'Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman ,' came the whispered answer.<br />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?'<br /><br />'A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.<br />'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.<br />Again, whispering, the child answered, 'The search team just landed a helicopter .'<br />Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'<br />Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle. ..<br />'ME .'Queeniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11201397019292285068noreply@blogger.com
