Jest for Fun

A young man volunteered to babysit his girlfriend's little siblings one night so she could have an evening out with her friends. At bedtime he sent the youngsters upstairs to bed and settled down to watch some college hoops. One child kept creeping down the stairs, but the young man kept sending him back up. Shortly after 9:00 p. m., the doorbell rang. It was the next- door neighbor, Mrs. Brown, asking whether her son was there. The young man brusquely replied, "No."

Just then a little head appeared over the banister and a voice shouted, "I'm here, Mom, but he won't let me go home!"
