When we stayed with the Prince boys this summer, I played a game with William. I don't remember the name of it, but it was one of those where you strategize to move, which may block your opponent from their plans. I made my move which blocked William from his plans. He got very upset. He's six. That's very normal for a six-year-old. I won the game and he was very upset. He wanted to play again. I told him that maybe we shouldn't because it caused him to be so angry. He thought for a minute and then humbly said, "I'm sorry; I will try to do better." Those words still cause tears to spring to my eyes. What a sweet, humble response. Those are words we all need to say more often, aren't they? Thank you, William for teaching your grandma.
