Praise with moderation

  • Capucine : Today I told the substitute teacher that our regular teacher allows us to drink water during class, and she said it was ok.
  • Me : This is great !! I'm proud of you !
  • Capucine : Oh..thanks.
  • Me : Yes ! I'm really proud of you because yesterday you were telling me that you were scared to ask her.
  • Capucine : Well thanks... But it's not like I have launched a rocket or anything.
