A little levity

My troubled Comp student who is working to get out of foster care was complaining about court. It seems his quest to get out of foster care didn't go as he liked. He was complaining about one court official who all the kids from foster care hate because he always speaks and ends up getting them more time in foster care.

Then a kid sitting next to him said, "You wouldn't have that problem if you didn't get in so much trouble."

He replied, "Man, I don't get in trouble. Trouble gets into me."

I had to laugh. I said, "That's a million dollar slogan. Put that on a black T-shirt in white stenciled writing, sell it at Hot Topic, and you'll be a millionaire."
