I am currently watching a television show with an arrogant character. I find myself getting frustrated by the arrogance, the snooty-ness of the character.

Ask for the Moon
When I was younger I knew that money was not pouring from the sky so when it was time to ask for something for my birthday, I always tried to consider something that was a reasonable price. I did not want to ask for something that cost a lot because I knew it was not … Continue reading Ask for the Moon
