A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks.
Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.
Just to see what would happen, on the twins’ birthday, their father decided to undertake an experiment.
He loaded the pessimist’s room with every imaginable toy and game a child could dream of. The optimist’s room he loaded with horse manure.
That night the father passed by the pessimist’s room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.
“Why are you crying?” the father asked.
“Because I don’t understand why this is happening, my friends will be jealous, I’ll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I’ll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken.” answered the pessimist twin.
Passing the optimist twin’s room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure, covered from head to toe in the unpleasant substance.
“What are you so happy about?” he asked.
To which his optimist twin replied, “With all this house crap around, there’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!”
