Red Shirt Friday
August 4th, 2006 . by CaryIt’s Red-Shirt Friday. One of my blog buddies, a dyed-in-the-wool Trekkie, has expressed concern about wearing a red shirt. Cube, I want to reassure you, since you are not on the first landing team you should be OK.
I am working on a bit of a response for some questions that Forneous asked. I might have that up Monday.
In the meantime, our adopted Momma sent this out:
WHY PARENTS DRINK…
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had 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.
“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 to an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy 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 there 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 Mommy and Daddy and the Fireman,” came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is that noise?”
“A hello-copper” 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 the hello-copper.”
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.”
Ahhhhhh, kids.
That one is destined to be a classic.
It sure is, Gunny. WHat a sense of humor on that kid, eh?
ROTF!!!! OK, Cary, you sent me rolling with that one!!!
How come everyone here at work is looking at me funny now?!
Funny! See what you are in for pretty soon, Cary? Little girls are just as (well almost as) mischievous as little boys!
Cute as…
You’re going to be a great new dad, no doubt about it.
Sues – You’re welcome.
Rick – I hope not. I hope she’s a very boring, studious little girl who sits quietly and wants nothing more than to hang out with mom and dad. Yeah, that’ll happen.
Thanks, Gunz.
