Looking for Trouble
In a small neighborhood lived a couple who gave their twin boys very unusual names—one was called Trouble, and the other Mind Your Own Business.
One day, the boys were playing hide and seek. Mind Your Own Business counted to a hundred and started looking for his brother. But no matter where he searched, he couldn’t find Trouble anywhere.
Just then, he saw a police car driving by and waved it down.
“What’s your name, son?” asked the officer.
“Mind Your Own Business,” the boy replied.
The officer frowned. “Hey, don’t be rude!”
“But that’s my name!” the boy insisted.
“Alright then,” the officer said, sighing. “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Trouble!” Mind Your Own Business shouted.
The officer blinked. “You’re looking for trouble?”
“Yes! My brother Trouble!”
By the time the parents arrived, the officer was still shaking his head. “Now that’s a family that really lives up to its names,” he muttered.
