Extravagant – Your Daily Word Prompt

Rules for One Daily Prompt:

Your word for the day is EXTRAVAGANT!

***********

My parents couldn’t afford an extravagant Christmas as all of our friends had. We were upset every year as we got simple and inexpensive gifts such as pencils, markers, or paper pads. My parents couldn’t afford to live in this town as the cheapest houses, for the most part, were well over several hundred thousand dollars, and numerous mansions went for millions. My parents felt lucky to find a run-down home to rent with the option to buy, which eventually they did, and every year we went through our friends showing off their extravagant gifts for Christmas and rubbing it in. Such nice friends we had. Kids can be mean.

Disposition – Your Daily Word Prompt

Rules for One Daily Prompt:

Your word for the day is DISPOSITION!

***********

Darlene had one of the nicest dispositions when I first moved in, but as time passed, she became very unpleasant. I can’t figure out what I did to her to make her this way. I know her best friend left the job, but that is no reason to take it out on me. She might be that way to others for all I know. She has hurt my feelings many times lately, and I don’t know what I did, although it might not be me that is causing this new behavior. I am trying to not take it personally, but it is hard to ignore the snappiness she has had lately.

Cheryl and her husband were at an impossible impasse. Their daughter was getting married on the night of the big game. Her husband was determined to go to the game rather than his daughter’s wedding, and Cheryl was livid. He knew about the wedding for over a year, but since his team never won anything and he wasn’t sure of the exact date of the fight, he agreed, and now they were at an impasse that seemed impossible to get over. Their daughter was also upset that her father would even consider backing out of her wedding. Everyone wondered how they would solve this problem.
