One March evening, the boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers, dialled 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 Mommy there?' ' Yes.' 'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered, 'No.'
Hoping there was somebody 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 Mommy and the Fireman, 'came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a Helicopter through the earpiece 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 truly alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, 'The search team just landed the hello-copper.' Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated the boss asked,
'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle: 'ME.'
