Daily Prompt: When was the last time someone told you they were proud of you?
“Am I proud” – NARA – 513787 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I have given this one a tremendous amount of thought, and here are my ten possible answers.
1. Never?
2. I can’t remember exactly, but I think it had something to do with potty training.
3. Stop it. Pride is a sin.
4. Hey, I’m the one who should be proud, not you. Why do you get to feel proud?
5. Shut up.
6. Is there a wine that goes with that?
7. I don’t normally do exceptional things inspiring proudness. Laughter I can provoke. Or crying. Or both at the same time. But no one has ever said they’re proud of me for that. Although it could be only a matter of time before it happens because you never know, right?
8. Pride cometh before a fall.
9. I think my mother and father were proud of me but they wanted me to be humble so they never mentioned it.
10. Did you know pretentious, jazzy and la-di-da are all related words? Huh. Too bad this question didn’t involve a couple of those. THEN you would have seen a great answer.
I asked W this question and right away he told me when it was said, by whom, and for what reason. Gawd, sometimes he annoys the hell out of me.
