The boss wondered why
one of his most valued 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, '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 apprehensive.
'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'!!
