Why parents drink


The boss wondered why one of his most dependable and valued employees who had not
phoned in sick one day was suddenly missing from work. Having an urgent problem with
one of the main computers, 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?' asked the Boss

The child whispered, 'No.'

Surprised and still wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked,
'Is your Mommy there?'

'Yes,' said the child.

'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 more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece
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!'

Yeeheheheheheheeeee!

I've read this in an email and laughed, lol. It's still as funny as it was then, lol. I wonder how many children have actually pulled something like this.

Yep, I would think this would be a great reason why parents drink, lol.
