Whispering Boy

A 911 operator gets a call one evening but nobody says anything.
Fearing the worst, the operator calls back, and a little boy
answers the phone in whispering voice ...


[barely audible] Hello!


(Operator) Hello little boy. Did you just call 911?


[barely audible] "No!"


(Operator) O.K., is your mommy home?


[barely audible] "Yes."


(Operator) Can I speak to her, please?


[barely audible] "No."


(Operator) "Why not?"


[barely audible] "Because she's busy!"


(Operator) "Oh, OK. Is your daddy home then?"


[barely audible] "Yes."


(Operator) "Well, can I speak to him?"


[barely audible] "No!"


(Operator) "Well, my goodness, why not?"


[barely audible] "Because he's busy too!"


(Operator) "OH, goodness! What's he busy doing?"


[barely audible] "Talking to the police."


(Operator) "Oh, so the police are there?"


[barely audible] "Yes."


(Operator) "Can I speak to one of them?"


[barely audible] "No!"


(Operator) "Why not?"


[barely audible] "Because they are really busy."


(Operator) "Well, what's your mom busy doing?"


[barely audible] "Talking to the firemen."


(Operator) "Can I speak to one of the firemen then, please?"


[barely audible] "No."


(Operator) "Well, goodness, why not?"


[barely audible] "Because they are really busy too!"


(Operator) "Well, what are all of these people busy doing?"


[barely audible] "Looking for me!"
