On Being Good

Tony's niece and nephew, Ashlyn and Charlie, spent the night with us on Saturday. They are six and four, respectively. They talk our ears off. An excerpt from the drive to our place:

Me: Y'all are good kids. Do y'all know that? Are y'all good on purpose or is it just easy for you?

Charlie: My brain says, 'Be bad!.' And I have to say, 'No, brain, be good!' It wants me to be bad, and I have to tell it, 'no.'

Only four, and already expounding the trials and tribulations of life on this here planet.
