Joke - Christmas for the Optimist and Pessimist




Christmas for the Optimist and Pessimist


A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one
felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud,
the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was
an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.
Just to see what would happen, on Christmas Eve while the twins were sleeping,
their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game.
The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.

Christmas morning, 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 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.

"Why are you so happy?" he asked.

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

  1. I've always loved that one. I just wonder which kind of kid my Mom would say I was. If she were here to say it.

    Love,
    Merry
