PRIDE

I was a pain of a child. When I didn’t like something to eat, I’d make a huge fuss about not wanting it, about allergies, about poison, breaking the UN convention on the rights of a child if you fed it to me, etcetera, etcetera.

When my parents finally forced some down my throat, and I realised it wasn’t actually that bad, I couldn’t swallow my pride to admit I was wrong.

I had to keep up the charade long into the night to prove I was right!

Fortunately a few months later (OK, many years later), I realised this and learnt how to give in.

I realised that giving in wasn’t a sign of weakness, but maturity.

(Yes that’s how you spell maturity. I’m sure that’s how you spell maturity. I’m not changing it!)

OK, I’m still learning to swallow my pride.
