I think we are able to make many connections to this play, JC. I am also wondering whether you have ever accepted something "unwillingly" like how Julius Caesar did after he refused to have the crown for three times. For me, I do this a lot with my family members, especially my mom. It's funny how it happens whenever I want something. For example, if I want to eat some spaghetti , I pretend as if I'm talking to myself. "I want some spaghetti." Then, my mom would come to me and ask, "Do you really want to?" And what I would do is to say no to that about two times, acting as if I'm sorry to ask her until she makes it and I "have" to eat it. Have you ever experienced this? I've acted like this a lot to my friends. I just don't remember haha. I'm interested to hear yours~

Oh my goodness. I have done that so much. For example, I went shopping with my aunt and my cousin and they were picking out clothes for my cousin.(I just went there to watch not to buy anything) Then I saw a really pretty skirt and I said"This is so pretty.. I don't have anything like this.." My mom wasn't there with me and I was really young at the time so the only person that could buy it for me was my aunt. So my aunt was like "Do you want it?" and I kept refusing but soon, my aunt was like no. I'm gonna get this for you. So I got it eventually. If I think about it it's really embarrassing and immature. But I think everyone does that so that it becomes like the person got it for you because they wanted to not 'cause you wanted it. I used to do that just to see how much the other person wants to do/give the thing to me. But now, don't really do it since it is really embarrassing when you think about it later.

Haha omg this happened to me to. Well, it's not actually my dad, but it was to my dad. Once, my dad went to someone's house, and saw a really good most recent camera from Canon or Nikon. Anyways, it was really expensive. Since my dad has alot of interests in cameras, he was holding it was saying to himself "wow, this is really cool." The next day, that person got the exact same camera. My dad refused it several times, but he then accepted it. Also, once my dad went to the Philippines, and saw a slingshot. Because he remembered his old days when he played with that when he was young, he was holding it and said 'wow this is cool.' After, one of the people who went to the Philippines with him bought that slingshot for my dad. My dad refused it, but later he accepted it too.

i don't have any severe cases, but one that tipped my off was when my mom insisted on what i wear. Sometimes in the morning when I'm the least patient, i would wear something that fit what i feel that day, but my mom will usually say "it's not that hot today" or "it's very cold today" or "don't wear that, wear this". As i said, im very impatient in the morning so i sometimes rage and say that im already wearing this so just let me wear it. = = Like most moms, they'll make you do what they want = = i can't do much, but accept

Hahaha that is so you Brandon!!! You do that a lot with us too lol! No offense mann we coolll Anyway.. Ive experienced a lot of that too. For example, when i was little it was childrens day, i really wanted to have this cool toy. My mom was going to buy me but i was keep telling her no because i already had similar things but i still wanted it. Even my dad was keep telling me that hes going to buy me even though i was kept telling him no. Anyways.. I didnt get the toy and i really regreted it later on

Hahaa ahh brandon thats exactly uuuu!! Hehehe personal experience with u hehe!! I agree with that though, i also do that lot of times, also relates to food whenever i have to choose what to eat, my dad would ask me what i want and i would say many things but always include what i want in each choice like pizza. My dad would just say ok lets just go with that.

Hahaha I have the same case with Justin. Especially when it's cold outside like these days, I don't have time to dry my hair and wear warm enough because I always have hard time waking up in the morning. But when my mom comes and tell me to dry my hair before I go out when I'm late for the school bus, I really get frustrated. Sometimes I unwillingly dry my hair and go out so that my mom doesn't scold me. T.T

I get the feeling that Justin's refusing and Brandon's refusing are two different things lol
Brandon's refusing is like a (sinister-ish?) calculating manipulation . . . moste evile actione!
Justin's refusing is, well, regular refusing.
Huh, note to self: One is evile and the other is not so evile.

Sometimes my mom asks me to do house chores and I reluctantly accept her request, because I know the consequences if I refuse Also, everyday I have to take 3 pills of medicine because of my hair loss problems, and I eat it even if I don't want to because of my precious hair.

When i was little, when i used to buy toys, i wouldnt go and pick a toy, my mother wold usually pick something and if it is the toy i didnt really like i would say no, and if it is a toy that i like i would go "maybe". And my mom would read my face, grin and buy the toy.

I do that all the time especially when I go out shopping with my mom. Especially now, when I'm leaving in Korea because when I go back to Bangkok, I would go out shopping with her and I would mumble to myself like "wow this clothes is even more cheaper than the one I saw at Myeongdong" "It's getting cold now, but I haven't bought any clothes yet" "I have no skirt" and many more. Then my mom would pity me because she wants me to have everything I need for myself. At the end of the day, my 2 hands would be full with shopping bags XD

haha, i think we all have done this. when you go to someone's house and they offer your food, you say no to be polite but really you want the food. being in korea, sometimes people tell me that i have pretty lashes or/and i'm good at acting. now, i like the complements, but i'm not all "oh i know! Thank you!" i just giggle and compliment back

this is something that's coming up soon for most of those who celebrate the lunar new year holiday. for me, i often try to appear as if i dont want the money my grandparents and relatives give to me when i visit and bow to them but that's all just an acting. honestly i just want all of the money they plan to give me. but i gotta look polite so i say that i'm fine and i dont need and dont want it but i end up taking it after refusing it for a few times. i mean come on, how rude would it look to honestly say that you just want the money? sometimes, its right thing to act like you're taking something unwillingly.

Apparently, he knows what I'm up to, or at least what I was up to. I think this extends to all kinds of gifts, even those you don't want; if you seriously reject someone's offer, then you are being offensive. But if you accept a gift too quickly, then you are being greedy (and thus offensive). Funny how that works.

HAHA trust me. I bet it all happened to everyone I accept money "UNWILLINGLY" haha. In Lunar New Years in Korea or just regular days, when i visit my grandma's house (both mom's and dad's side) They give me money just to show they've missed me and love me and etc. And I always say to them "No Grandma I really appreciate you giving me, but really my parents give me enough money and I want you to spend it for your own sake". BUT! In the inside I'm really happy to get the money! haha My both Grandmas later on say "NO juni just take it! I don't see you that often.. and blahblab" and then I take the money "UNWILLINGLY" And i say Thank you haha (I bet it happens to all Korean kids that receive money from their grandparents haha)
