EVER WONDERED WHY PARENTS TAKE TO DRINK?

EVER WONDERED WHY PARENTS TAKE TO DRINK?
The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees, had not phoned in sick one day.
Having an urgent problem, he dialled his home phone and was greeted with a child’s whisper…”Hello”
“Is your daddy home?” he asked. “Yes”, whispered the small voice.
“May I talk to him?”
The child whispered, “No”
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, he asked, “Is your mummy home?”
“Yes”
“May I speak to her?”
Again, the small voice whispered, “No”
Hoping there was someone with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, “Is anyone else there?”
“Yes”, whispered the child, “a policeman”
Wondering what a cop was doing at his employee’s home the boss asked, “May I speak to the police man?”
“No, he’s busy”’ whispered the child.
“Busy doing what?”
“Talking to mummy and daddy and the fireman”, came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece of the phone, the boss asked, “What is that noise?”
“A helicopter”, answered the whispering voice.
“What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again whispering, the child answered, “The search team just landed a helicopter”
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated, the boss asked, “What are they searching for?”
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle….”Me”.
