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!"
