New Twist on Old Sayings

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.'
