Just got this in an email and had to share!

Why Parents Drink




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 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 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 ear piece 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 . '

No stitching yet!

What a miserable day we are having here, Wet and windy.I hope everyone in the UK is dry and safe!
No stitching to show as of yet. Maybe in a few days, as I have started a project I was asked to stitch by my MIL, it is of the Island of Sark.( I think the maps are a pet hate of mine as well )
No pics so here is another of our felines Tango and Bella

Look what my 12 year old son made me, in his Tech(Textiles) lesson.

Not bad for his first attempt at making something.
