Little Willie Knew.

Little Willie, the son of a Germantown woman, was playing one day with the girl next door when the latter exclaimed: "Don’t you hear your mother calling you? That’s three times she’s done so. Aren’t you going in?” "Not yet,” responded Willie imperturbably. “Won’t she whip you?" demanded the little girl, awed. “Naw!” exclaimed Willie in disgust. She ain’t goin’ to whip nobody! She’s got company. So, when I go in, she’ll just say, ‘The poor little man has been so deaf since he’s had the measles!’” —Lippincott’s.
