I'd have to say my son. As corny as that may be.

I remember dropping him off his second day of pre-primary. He's an outgoing kid, extremely extroverted, loves life, loves people, you know all the good things every parent says about their own kid.

As we're walking up to the fence for drop off, another classmate was with his mom. He was hugging her, upset and didn't want to go, he didn't want to leave mom. Hey dude, I get it. I was the same way.

I held back, my natural instinct to pull away and give them space (the introverted me).

My little guy, walks right over, says hi, and asks the other little boy to come play with him in the school yard.

I stood there in shock.

Where the flipping, flying, frack did that come from?

It was so kind, so open, so caring.

Both myself and my wife are introverted. (I'm extroverted *if* I know you, am in a familiar setting, or in front of a crowd). No way either of us would do that, or think to do that.

Kids man... They're not just for brainwashing into Flames fans.
