Mark in his younger years

[Big N' Blue]

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick. So he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. '
"Hello ?"
'Is your daddy home?'
Small voice whispered, “Yes, he's out in the garden”
’May I talk with him?'
The child whispered , “No“
So the boss asked, 'Well, is your Mommy there?'
“Yes she's out in the garden too”

‘The boss asked; 'May I talk with her?'
Again the “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 employee's home, the boss asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'
“No, He's busy”, whispered the child. 'Busy doing what?'
“Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the police dog men.”
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'
“It's a helicopter” answered the whispering voice.
'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
“The search team just landed a helicopter”
'A search team?' said the boss. 'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle....

“ME”
