A Life I could've had

"Your father and I missed an opportunity with you and your brother," Mom mused over dinner.

"Oh yeah?" I swallowed the last bite of a rather tasty southwestern egg roll dripping with mango sauce. "What opportunity was that?"

"We should've made your middle name 'Trouble.'"

I had to agree: it'd be a setup for a lifetime of awesomeness.

    Kevin: Totally. With a lifetime to hone my delivery (and seek out opportunities to use it), it's a joke I don't think I'd ever tire of.

    Sizzle: Aw, that's no good. I think the only acceptable ones would be Trouble or Danger. ;)

    Melissa: D'oh! You were robbed.
