...humility

I had to teach Ben about being humble this evening. The rumor from one friend to another, who passed it on to Ben, is that he's been bragging about his football playing. Granted, I know all boys toot their own horn, puff up their chests, so to speak...but not my kid. Jack and I are/were both self deprecating, especially with a compliment...we always chose to take ourselves down a notch while building someone else up.

As I explained to Ben, in bed this evening, being humble is one of the best qualities a friend/person can have.I explained it all in more depth, but bottom line, as I left the room...yep, still the guest room, I told him he could only talk the talk..if he could walk the walk. Based on the dirt, on his body, from getting tackled, I'm thinking after I walked out..he ate a little pie:)
