Why Parents Drink

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employee had not phoned in

sick one day. 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?'

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 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'.

[Michael]

What are they searching for?

ME

But it's still funny, and worth repeating!

[mrsbull]

Yikes. I can see my lil girl doing that she loves to hide. Scary but that was cute.

[Christopher.Collins]

Freaking priceless! :twisted:

Parents drink cause of kids like Echo...

Sounds to me that the child must come from a broken home: the child broke most of it him/her self.
