This day, this lesson, might have been for you as much as for the cousin. Thanks for sharing about your sweet boy. I have one of those as well and am often surprised by his perspective.

He's got his mother's compassion, and I don't know if I want to taint that. My oldest daughter inherited my "Yosemite Sam/Tazmanian Devil" temper, and because she lacks the guidance of a level headed parent where she lives she gets into a lot of scuffles. Besides, I think he's got this whole *"Coward of the County" thing going on. I think he'll be fine. *Kenny Rogers song from 1980 - Guy takes guff from everybody, then eventually opens the biggest can of whoop-ass the town has ever seen, thereby garnering everybody's respect (fear). @Deb,

There’s a part of me that wants to teach him to defend himself, but there’s also a part of me that wants him to be diplomatic.

He’s got his mother’s compassion, and I don’t know if I want to taint that.
