"Mommy, is tonight my first t-ball game?"
"Yep, tonight. Are you going to hit a home run?"
"Yeah. I'm awesome at baseball, you know. I'll probably hit the moon with my ball and then I'll hit the moon with the bat. Because my muscles are so big. Man, I'm good!"
"Wow. I am really glad you're confident, Cael, but you need to be a good sport. That means that when you do well, you don't make the other kids feel bad about it. And when you don't do as well as you'd hoped, which will happen sometime, you smile anyway and do your best the next time. Okay?"
"What, Mom? I was looking at my HUGE muscles in the mirror. That baseball better watch out!"
LOL!!! Wish I had been so confident when I was a kid! :)
