The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick. So he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.

"Hello?"

"Is your daddy home?"

Small voice whispered, "Yes, he's out in the garden,"

"May I talk with him?"

The child whispered, "No."

So the boss asked, "Well, is your Mommy there?"

"Yes, she's out in the garden too."

The boss asked; "May I talk with her?"

Again the '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 police dog men."

Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"It's a helicopter"answered the whispering voice.

"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly

apprehensive.

"The search team just landed a helicopter."

"A search team?" said the boss. "What are they searching for?"

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...

"ME"
