>"May I talk with him?" the man asked.

>"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

>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

>
>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."
