["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!
When I was a kid one of the things I wanted most was a remote control car. My older brother had a job and told me if I get all A's on my next report card, he would buy me the car. I was encouraged to do good in school for the reward. My report card came and my lowest score was A-.
