My brother's little boy is nine years old, and his name is Grant. He's been going to a tennis daycamp this summer, and today was the last day, but my brother had to be somewhere else, so Grant's mother took him to the camp.
All the kids were given commemorative camp T-shirts, and some of them also got trophies for their accomplishments. After all the awards, Grant went to one of the coaches and asked if he could have a grown-up-size T-shirt for his dad. The coach said, "Well, I can't just give you another shirt, but... you could take it instead of the trophy."
And Grant gave up his shiny gold trophy so he and his dad could have matching shirts.
I love that kid so.
