Cookie was doing her homework last night. She had vocabulary words to study. She asked me to read and define them for her.
One of her words was:
Megalomania - A form of mental illness in which a person has exaggerated ideas of his own importance// an unrealistic belief in one's superiority, grandiose abilities, and even omnipotence. It is characterized by a need for total power and control over others, and is marked by a lack of empathy for anything that is perceived as not feeding the self.
As we read this together, our eyes met. Our thought was the same. I moved on quickly, she did not. She burst out laughing. We know someone with this mental issue.
Now we know it has a name!!!!
