From The Spaghetti Detectives "And I know what a prime number is!" I shouted. I was upset, that was about the only thing I did know. The boy didn't say anythign else. He looked down at his sneakers. Then he looked up again. He stretched out his hand. It was so small that both of his would have fit into one of mine. "I'm Oscar," he said. "And I would like to apologize sincerely. I shouldnt have made fun of you. It was arrogant. I had no idea what he meant by the last word, but I understood he was sorry. ARROGANT: When somebody looks down on somebody else. So Oscar can't be all that smart because the fact is he's a lot shorter than I am and has to keep looking up at me.
