A Cub Scout trop was half an hour late to its den meeting. The den mother asked them severely, “Why are you so late?”

“That’s a nice, but it shouldn’t make you half an hour late.”
“Well, you see,” said another boy, “he didn’t want to go.”

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"
