About a year ago, Fern asked me if I could purchase a video game for him.
Even just a modicum of shame would have been nice.
"Why should I buy it for you?"
"Because I really, really want it!"
"Then buy it yourself. You have all that birthday money, Fern. You can afford it."
"That's not the point."
"Okay, Fern. Then what is the point?"
"It's soooo expensive. It's not worth the money."
"So you don't want to waste your money, you want to waste my money?"
"Exactly."
Even just a modicum of shame would have been nice.
