Potted Plant

A scout pretending to be a delivery boy comes wandering through the meeting with a potted plant which he says is for Mrs. Mergertroid. He comes back through the meeting several times each time saying, "Potted plant for Mrs. Mergetroid." Each time the potted plant gets bigger. The last time he comes in carrying a small tree. Finally, the leader says there aren't any adults here, just kids. The delivery boy looks at the card and says. "Oh, for heaven's sake. I've been reading it wrong, the plant is from Mrs. Mergetroid For; Name of someone in the unit."
