The boss of a big company needs to call one of his employees about
an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees
home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster
the boss asked, "Is your Mommy home?"
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
"May I talk to her?" the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk to an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Daddy there?"
"Yes", came the answer.
"May I talk with him?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home
alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who be
there watching over the child. "Is there any one there besides you?" the
boss asked the child.
"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?" asked the boss.
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered
answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What
is that noise?"
"A hello-copper" answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just
landed the hello-copper."
Alarmed, concerned, and more than just a little frustrated the boss
asked, "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle: "Me."
