Character

Tate and I were having a conversation about something he didn't want to do.  We went back and forth, me trying to convince him to do the hard thing, he emphasizing how much he did NOT want to do the thing I was asking him to do.

I told him, we do things that are hard because they develop our character.

He responded, "Mom,  I have character.  I have more character than I know what to do with.  I have character coming out my ears.  I have character to spare!"

Despite the conversation, he developed a little more "character" that day.
