Mini Mystery

A boss was wondering why one of his best employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent query he phoned the employee at home 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?”” No ‘ the child whispered

Surprised, the boss asked, “Is your Mummy there?”

” Yes , ” the child replied.

“May I talk with her?” ” No , “ the small voice whispered,

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 the police were doing at his employee’s home, the boss said, “Let me speak to 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, the boss asked, “What is that noise?”

” A helicopter “ answered the whispering voice.

“What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now really concerned.

Again, whispering, the child answered, ” The police have just landed a helicopter .”

Alarmed, concerned and frustrated the boss asked, “What are they searching for?”

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle… “

ME .” !!!
