Nothing to brag about

Mon., March 14, 2016

A recent Annie’s Mailbox was about a young brother who is always bragging and boasting about himself-money, material things, etc. Does this remind anyone of a presidential candidate?

The answer was as follows: “People who can’t stop boasting about themselves tend to be terribly insecure.”

The answer should provoke thought for some people.
