A boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about anurgent 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 theyoungster, 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 homealone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the personwho should be there watching over the child.”Is there anyone 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 bossasked, “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 whisperedanswer.Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like ahelicopter through the ear piece on the phone, the boss asked, “Whatis 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 teamjust landed the hello-copper.”Alarmed, concerned, and more than just a little frustrated, the bossasked, “What are they searching for?”Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffledgiggle, “Me.”
