WHY PARENTS HAVE GRAY HAIR!
The boss of a big company
needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main
computers. He dialed the employees home phone number and was greeted with a
child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the
inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster 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 home alone, the boss decided he would just
leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child.
"Is there any one 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 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 answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter
through the ear piece 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
alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the
child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper" Alarmed, concerned and more than just a
little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching
for?"
Still whispering, the young
voice replied along with a muffled giggle, "Me"
