“But, Mommy… I like both balloons…” muttered Bryan with a pitiful pout. He was still at
the age where he could not control his greed.
Even though Corinne would spoil the kids from time to time, she was very strict when it
came to teaching them how to be a decent human being.
“You can ask me to buy you another one if you like both balloons instead of forcing your
