My friend Matt skipped school all the time and was called “hell on wheels” because of all the trouble he got in at school and all the fights he got in after school. In all honesty, I felt that way myself and worried that he’d get so out of control someday he’d be sent to jail.
When Matt met a girl as wild as him named Rhonda after he barely graduated from high school, I felt for sure Matt and wild Rhonda would become like another Bonnie and Clyde and probably run away from their homes, get guns, and go on cross country robbing sprees.
Other people who knew Matt felt that way too. They believed one would be like a match to gasoline and set off the other and they’d be all over the news. Maybe worse, they end up killing somebody, possible a cop trying to arrest them.
But to the surprise of everyone who knew them or heard of them, after Rhonda became pregnant and they got married they became like model citizens and cleaned up their acts.
Maybe sometimes two wrongs make a right.
