A Child’s Play
September 30th, 2009
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having 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.
The child says, “Hello.”
“Is your daddy home?” he asked.
“Yes,” whispered the small voice.
Boss: “May I talk with him?”
The child whispered, “No.”
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy there?”
Child: “Yes.”
Boss: “May I talk with her?”
