Selective Self-Control

I was telling a friend about the vast difference between C's quiet, sweet demeanor at school and her loud, unruly behavior at home.  My friend was only a little surprised, because the conversation began as Charis was running wildly around the study room where she is normally shy.

As we walked away, Charis turned to me and confided, "Momma?  When I'm at school, I think all of the same thoughts that I think while I'm at home.  But I don't do any of them!"

This is both hopeful news, because she clearly has self control, and disappointing news, because she doesn't exert any at home!
