The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. 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, the boss asked,
"Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes."
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Hoping 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 Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried the boss asked, "What is that noise?"
"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?"
"The search team just landed the helicopter."
Alarmed, the boss asked,
"What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle: "...... Me"
