Why parents have gray hair

[TwoTanks]

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 employee’s
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 any one 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 whispering voice.

“What is going on there?” asked the boss, now getting 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”

hahaha i confess- I did that when I was about five or six.

Well the kibbutz in Israel i grew up on is right in the middle of the desert- only water in like 15 miles. so when I got the best spot in the Annual Kibbutz Hide and go seek game, they thought i ran out into the desert. of course i fell asleep in my killer spot, and yeah. they called the army to do a manhunt. hahahaha
