Is your daddy home?’ Small voice whispered, Yes, he’s out in the garden, May I talk with him?’ The child whispered, ‘No. So the boss asked, Well, is your Mommy there? Yes she’s out in the garden too’, The boss asked; May I talk with her?’
Again the ‘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?
