[s-cars] Daughters.... Now "Why Parents Drink" NAC

[chris chambers]

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was
absent one day   but had not phoned in sick . Needing to
have an urgent problem with one of the main computers
resolved, he dialled the employee's home phone number
and was greeted with a child's whisper.
' Hello ? '

'Is your daddy home?' he asked.

' Yes ,' whispered the small voice. 

May I talk with him?' 

The child whispered, ' No .'

Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss
asked, 'Is your Mummy there?' ' Yes '

'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice
whispered, ' 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 Mummy and the Fireman , '
came the whispered answer. 

Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the
background through the earpiece on 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”
