A boss was facing a critical issue with one of the main computers at work, but he couldn’t reach his key employee, who had failed to show up for work without notice. Determined to resolve the problem, the boss decided to call the employee’s home phone number.
To his surprise, a child answered the phone, speaking in a hushed tone. The boss asked if the employee was home, and the child whispered a yes. Curious, the boss asked if he could speak with the employee, but the child whispered a no.
Undeterred, the boss asked if the child’s mother was home. Again, the answer was a whispered yes. The boss hoped to leave a message with someone, so he asked if there was anyone else present. The child whispered that there was a policeman.
Perplexed, the boss asked to speak with the officer. However, the child whispered that the policeman was busy. Intrigued, the boss asked what the officer was doing. The child replied that he was talking to the employee’s parents and a fireman.
As the conversation continued, the boss heard a loud noise in the background. He asked what the noise was, and the child whispered that it was a helicopter. Concerned, the boss demanded to know what was happening. The child replied with another whisper – a search team had just landed a helicopter.
Now truly apprehensive, the boss asked what they were searching for. The child responded with a muffled giggle and whispered, “Me.”
As the truth dawned on the boss, he couldn’t help but laugh at the unexpected turn of events. It was a heartwarming reminder that sometimes life’s surprises can bring joy and laughter, even in the midst of a chaotic situation.
