Petulant

A Flashback Friday Presentation From- August 22. 2022

Being petulant is not just for children and adolescents. Many otherwise sober, upstanding adults are known to have tantrums when things don’t go their way. Recently there has been a major political bruhaha over when to concede a contest. In the world of sports, there always seems to be some drama, and don’t get me started on Reality TV.
Take the word orange, for example. A friend of mine is a graphic designer, and if I say orange, she may inform me that what I am referring to is actually ‘tangerine.’ If she gets particularly incensed, a Pantone color chart may come out and get waved under my nose. But throughout, she maintains her poise and dignity. It’s a discussion, not an argument, even if only one rendering is indeed accurate!

I rise above these petty concerns. And just as long as you understand that Luan is not a true Mahagony, Brazilian cherry is not the cherry I carve, or red oak and white oak have different characteristics, we’ll get along fine.

Just don’t get smart. See?
