The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, 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 and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mummy there?'

' Yes ' 

'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered,

' No '

Hoping there was someone with whom 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 Mummy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered answer.

Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'

' A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.

'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. 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 . '

    Hi Donna - That is really funny.  I didn't expect the ending to be as it was.  That one really got me  lol.  Great humor!

    I agree with all of you. When I first read it I was so surprised by the ending, then laughed, then a little disturbed that I could actually see some of the children I know try to pull this off.

    It was a nice way to start my day and I that you all might enjoy it as well.

    OH I had a kid do that years ago.  She hid and got scared when the entire neighbor hood was looking for her.  Very scary feeling even if its not your child. 

    I was able to laugh about it later and was happy it all turned out, It took the parents a LONG time to even be able to snicker about it.  That poor kid was on a very short leash the entire Spring/Summer/Fall/ . 

    I can see my son pulling the same kind of stunt!  Actually the daughter as well.  She informed me she already has April Fools Day tricks planned.  I was never a celebrator of April Fools but I guess this year I may have to do so.

    Oh man, I remember doing that as a kid. I went to my neighbor's house without telling my parents, hid when they were looking for me. My parent called the police and everyone they knew trying to find me. Needless to say I was grounded for an eternity. It was funny at the time, but looking back I can't believe that I put my parents through that!

    Thank you,

    Cute posting. My son hid in a store once. It's way funnier reading about it than experiencing it.

    I've got to say I've never had one of my kids hide like that and thank God they didn't. I would have lost my mind! I feel for all you parents that have children who've pulled this stunt and for those of you that did it to your parents, shame on you!

    Love it!!  Like when my pediatrician returned my call, my young son answered the phone.  When the doctor asked if his mom (me) was home, he said yes, and hung up.  this happened two more times before the doc figured out to ask to speak to me, not is I was there!

    That's hilarious Carol! I bet the doctor has changed the way he returns phone calls now.
