The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in
sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved,
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." came the whisper.
"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 askled, "May I
speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the child in her very small voice.
"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 apprensive.
"The search team just landed a helicopter." was the answer again whispered very low.
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."
