Why Parents Have Grey Hair

I thought this was just too cute not to post!  Enjoy  



The boss of a big company needed 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 whispered, "Hello?"



Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"  "Yes," whispered the small voice.  "May I talk with him?" the man asked.  To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No."



Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"  "Yes," came the answer.  "May I talk with her?"  Again the small voice whispered "No."



Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child.  "Is there anyone there besides you?" the boss asked the child.  



"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?" asked the boss.



"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman," came the whispered answer.



Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"  "A hello-copper," answered the whispered voice.



"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.  In an awed whispering voice, the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper."  



Alarmed, concerned and 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."

Oh this sounds like something MY child would do!!



He got out of bed one night and hid under a table w/a long tablecloth.  I went to check on him and he was gone!  Imagine my panic!!  I went running into our room yelling to my husband, "Get up, get up - he's gone!!"  Needless to say, my husband came out of a sound sleep and almost suffered a heart attack.  The child refused to answer as we were calling for him - finally when he heard me start to cry then he came out.  I thought I would either kill him for doing that to me or grab him, hug him and never let go because he was safe!
