Why Parents Have Grey Hair
This is a telephone conversation between
a child and the boss of one of the parents...

An employer, concerned with his best worker
not showing up for work, decides to give him
a call. He dialed the employee home phone
number and was greeted with a child's whisper,
"Hello?"

Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having
to talk to a youngster, the boss asked, "Is your
Daddy home?"

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

"May I talk with him?" the man asked.

The small voice whispered, "No." Wanting to
talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your
Mommy there?"

"Yes," came the answer.

"May I talk with her?" Again the small voice
whispered, "No."

Knowing that it was not likely that a young
child would be left home alone, the boss
decided he would just leave a message
with the person who should be there watching
over the child. Is there anyone else there in
your house?" the boss asked the child.

"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?" asked the boss.

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman,"
whispered the child. Growing concerned and
even worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the ear piece on the phone,
the boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"A hello-copper," answered the whispering voice.

"What's going on there?" asked the boss, now
alarmed.

In an awed, hushed voice the child answered,
"The search team just landed the hello-copper."
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little
frustrated, the boss asked, "What are they
searching for?"

Still whispering, the young voice replied, along
with a muffled giggle: "Me."

2. There is just one reason for all the expanse of gray

on my head. And his name is <son #2>.

I couldn't love him more. But we both know why I sport the grays, which began appearing within a year of his birth when I was 20 years old. Meet his alter-ego:
