A Boss Calls With A Problem And Is Annoyed When A Child Answers

Many of us who work for a living like to have some degree of separation between our work life in our home life.

We sometimes may not be able to stop ourselves from taking the work home, but we try to keep it separate when possible.

Perhaps that is why many people appreciate the joke we have for you today. Not only is it absolutely hilarious, it is something that both parents and those who work for a living will enjoy.

It all starts when a boss has to cross the line and call a man at home about a serious problem. We understand this happens from time to time, but he got more than what he expected when he called in.

A 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 employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper. “Hello?”

“Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to the 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 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 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.”
