Bubble Boy



I'm sure most of you have by now heard about the hunt for little Falcon Heene, who disappeared in his Fathers homemade aircraft after he climbed into an attached box and floated clear of his home in Colorado. The stunt attracted huge media attention, with several TV networks dedicating airtime to monitor the balloons movements. The world watched with bated breath as the balloon lumbered to ground.. only to find that Falcon was no where to be seen. People feared the worst. Some eyewhitness reports claim to have seen the boy fall to his probable death... All the while, the wee man was hiding in a box in the attic at his parents home! Some are pointing the finger now accusing the family of deliberately staging the event to attract attention. But whatever the case, I think it's hilarious! Reminds me of the email my Dad sent me a few weeks ago, ENJOY!




The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialled 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 with an adult, the boss asked, ‘is your Mummy 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 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 Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman‘ came the whispered answer.


Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'


'A helicopter’ 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 a helicopter ‘


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. '
