We all have it. From time to time, it comes out in ugly ways. And as parents, we see it in our kids. But if we’re honest, we know they probably learned it from us. That’s where the idea for this talking about pride cartoon came from.
One moment, we’re doing pretty good with handling pride. The next moment, we believe we are royalty and deserve the red carpet treatment. That’s just human nature, isn’t it? We all believe we deserve to be king or queen.
Cartoon of frog to princess. The frog says, “Let’s be honest. I’m not a prince. But if you’ll kiss me, I’ll feel good about myself.”
I picture my wife thinking something along this line when we first dated. I’m glad she ended up kissing the frog. She’s still royalty and I’m a better quality frog for it.
Cartoon of two frogs. One says, “Then just before the princess kisses me and turns me into a prince, my wife shows up!”
This was an illustration I did just for fun in 1999. I was inspired by all the fairy tales I was reading to my daughter. She wasn’t hot on the romance part of the stories. Romance just made her sick. Apparently, it does the same for this poor prince.
I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.
