For Real, I Just Had This Exchange With My 6-Year-Old

Wyatt: I want those kids to play tag with me.

Me: Why don't you go ask them?

Wyatt: I'm too nervous to ask.

Me: What? You're the most outgoing kid I know.

Wyatt: No, I'm nervous a lot, so I just try to look cute and see if they come to me.

Me: Oh, yeah?

Wyatt: Yeah. It works for me most of the time.
