After arguing and complaining he did not want to go to his last cross-country meet. We explained to him the importance of finishing a commitment and eventually he agreed to go. When walking in the door his Dad told him he was very proud of him for finishing his commitment. Shane's immediate response, "It wasn't my commitment it was mom's, I didn't want to do cross-country in the first place and mom made me. I would have quit if you would have let me." Fair enough, valid point.
Driving to practice the week following a practice in which Shane refused to participate because he forgot his ball. Shane was talking up how good their team is and how they will never lose. Dad explains to Shane that winning is great, but the most important thing is always trying your best. Shane, "I thought the most important thing is your relationship with God." Yet again, technically correct.
