The Absent employee !



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 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 Mummy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered answer.
Growing more  worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the ear piece 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 !
