i was in 5th grade and wanted a remote control car . my older brother who had a job said he would buy it for me if i got all a 's on next report card . my lowest score was a- and he said that a- is not an a . well that 's pretty annoying . he should have given it to you anyway . a- is a great grade . yes i thought so too . that 's when i learned about life being full of loopholes . you probably also learned your brother is a cheapskate , haha . i hope you did end up getting that car one day ! the answer is yes to both .
The brother's perceived cheapskate behavior and the unfulfilled desire to get a car.
