KIDS


A boss was wondering why one of his most valued employees was absent from work, and had not phoned in sick one day. 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?"

"Is your Daddy home?" he asked.

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

"May I talk to him?"

The child whispered, " No."

Surprised and wanting to talk to an adult, the boss asked again, "Is your Mommy there?"

"Yes."

"May I talk to her?"

Again the small voice whispered, "No."

Hoping there was somebody reliable with whom he could leave a message, the boss tried again. "Is there anybody else at home?" He asked.

"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak to him?"

"No, he's busy," whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?"

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman," came the whispered answer.

Just then, the boss heard a loud noise in the background through the phone. Growing more worried, he asked curiously, "What is THAT noise?"

"A helicopter." answered the whispering voice.

Truly intrigued now, the boss demanded, "What is going on there?"

Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed a helicopter."

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."
