The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had

>
> “Hello.”
>
> “Is your daddy home?” he asked.
>
> “Yes.”, whispered the small voice.
>
> “May I talk with him?” asked the boss.
>
> The child whispered, “No.”
>
> Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy

>
> “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?”, asked the boss.
>
> “Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman.” came the whispered reply.
>
> 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.
>
> Now truly apprehensive, the boss demanded, “What is going on there?”
>
> Again, whispering, the child answered, “The search team just landed in a
> helicopter.”
>
> Alarmed, concerned and more than a little frustrated the boss asked, “What
> are they searching for?”
>
> Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle, “Me.”
