WHY PARENTS DRINK

The boss of a big company need to call one of his employees about an

urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employees

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 to 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 employees home the boss


asked, " May I speak with the policeman?"


"No he's busy" whispered the child


"Busy doing what?"


"Talking to Mommy and Daddy and the fireman" 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 truly alarmed


In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team

just landed the hello-copper."


Alarmed, Concerned, and even 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"
