Children
The boss of a big multinational company urgently needed to speak to one of
his management team at the weekend, so he phoned him at home. A small boy's voice answered the phone in hushed tones. "Hello," said the boss. "Is your daddy home?" "Yes," whispered the child.
"May I talk with him?"
"No."
The boss was not used to hearing the word "no." "Well, is your mummy there?" "Yes," whispered the child.
"May I talk with her?"
"No."
Knowing that it was unlikely that a small boy would have been left home alone, the boss tried again. "Is anyone else there?" "Yes," said the boy. "A policeman."
The boss was startled to hear that the police were there. "Well, may I speak with him?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the boy.
"Busy doing what?" asked the boss, beginning to wonder what was going on at the house.
"Talking to Daddy, Mummy and the firemen."
Just then, the boss heard the sound of a helicopter down the phone. "What's that noise?" he asked.
"A helicopter," whispered the boy.
"Exactly what's going on there?"
"The search team just landed the helicopter," confided the boy. "What are they doing there?"
"They're looking for me."
