"May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, he replied, "No."

"Yes," came the answer.
"May I talk with her?" Again, the little voice said, "No."

"Yes," said 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 is busy," said the child.
"Busy doing what?" asked the boss.
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the answer.
