I appreciate your calling it high minded dignity and I'm glad you've decided to accept that in me. And I wouldn't call you a brat at all. I see you as disconcertingly charming, for want of a better expression.
If you will forgive a mother's story. Whenever my son gets a new teacher, I have to warn them that he hasn't a sassy bone in his body but that he is remarkably literal. So if a teacher asks him "What do you think you're doing?", he'll answer "I'm kicking my legs." They'll think he's being smart mouthed when in reality he is just answering their questions honestly.
Sorry to have "bugged" you for even a moment. And I'm glad everything worked out.
Thanks,
Dinah
