Is Your Daddy Home?

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
employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's
whispered, "Hello?""Is your Daddy home?" he asked."Yes,"
whispered the small voice."May I talk with him?"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."Hoping
there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked
the child, "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 firemen," 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 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."
