The best compliment EVER

I walked with Ashley, a 7-year old, up to the parking lot last night after softball practice.
Her parents and the head coach walked ahead of us, talking about the upcoming season.

Ashley looked up at the backstop we were walking past. The net had caught 3 softballs.

"I could totally climb up and get those," she said to me confidently.

"No way," I said, like a 7-year old.

"Yup."

"But you'd get in trouble, 'cause that's a tall fence to climb."

"I wouldn't get in trouble."

"Why not?"

"'Cause you're the only one who would see me do it, and you wouldn't tell on me because you're not that kind of person."

I felt awesome.
