Lincoln: “Mom, how do you be cool?”
Mom: “Uh…what kind of cool do you mean?”
Lincoln: “Like awesome cool. How do you be awesome cool?”
Mom: “Hmmm, well…one way is to be very nice to your friends, because people think nice people are cool.” (I don’t know! Better than, “run faster than your friends!”)
Lincoln: “Can you be cool by just being yourself?”
(silence)
Mom: “Yes, Lincoln. That is exactly what you do.”
