Timmy and Tommy are creative. These twins are always busy. Some of their favorite things are sports, cars, found objects, building and pranks. That’s right. They have a devious streak.

Once they picked a friend’s locker and school, and stuffed an inflatable doll into it. They had filled it with helium. Yes, you can imagine how that caused a lot of ruckus. In another instance, while having a ballgame with some neighbors, they absconded with one of the neighbor kid’s bikes, and hoisted it to the top branches of a tree. That one got them into some trouble. There was another caper where they snuck out at night and mildly disabled the vehicle of a particularly abhorrent teacher. They hoped they wouldn’t have to tolerate him for at least one day. It didn’t work. The teacher made it to classes on time and made the kids even more annoyed than usual. Luckily, it was never revealed that they were the culprits, but people whispered… of course.

It’s easy to see why any time there’s a controversy in the community their names tend to come up. They’ve never been involved in any serious criminal behavior that would harm anyone’s person, and they’ve never been involved in crimes of theft. Regardless, they do remain on a number of watch lists, as one might assume.

One day, they decided to do something else. They used their creative, strategic skills for a completely different end. What happened is this. They were at the grocery store. A great friend of their recently deceased grandpa recognized them. The three of them hung out, and had lunch. The old guy told them all kinds of stories. From the time their grandpa was a kid, until the times he’s go visit his friends at the local senior housing center. The old friend took them over to the center, where they could meet some of their grandpa’s other friends.

They cooked up one of their devious schemes. One night, they snuck out of their house, gathered up a bunch of supplies, and they washed every car in the senior center parking lot. In exchange for their total silence, they included the security guard and staff vehicles. No one ever figured out who was responsible, but there were whispers, of course.
