The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an
urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employee's
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 Daddy home?" "Yes", whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, the
small voice whispered, "No." Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss
asked, "Is your Mommy there?" "Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with
her?" 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
should 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!"http://INSPIREDTOLAUGH.COM
