An employee didn’t show up for work one day. His boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick. He called the employee’s smartphone and was greeted with a child’s whisper.
“Hello.”
“Is your daddy home?” he asked.
“Yes,” whispered the young 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,” whispered the young voice.
“May I talk with her?”
Again the boy 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,” said the boy.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter in the background, the boss asked, “What is that noise?”
“A helicopter.” answered the whispering boy.
“What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child said, “The search team just landed the 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.”

The reality of dating ….

Young kids use a dating app on their phone.

Older kids use a dating website on their computers.

Adults use a matchmaking service to get dates.

Senior citizens meet potential dates at church events.

Anyone older than that will have to resort to carbon dating.
