Recently Ben was at his grandma's house visiting her, and she relayed this incident to me.
She took Ben to Chuck E. Cheeses, and he was enjoying a "hamster maze tunnel thing" that he loves. One section turns into a car, where, through the windshield my mom could see Ben driving the car. Apparently a much bigger boy (maybe six or seven) came up to Ben and shoved him really hard out of the way and stole the steering wheel and driving seat. Ben just walked away.
My mom said she was really mad at this kid, because he was so mean and so much bigger. When Ben came out of the tunnel thing, he came back to grandma. He told her a kid had pushed him, but he had just walked away. (He didn't know she had seen the whole thing.) She then told him, "Ben if a kid comes over to you and shoves you really hard like that you can turn around and shove him really hard back." (Nice one grandma.) Anyway, he quite simply said, "Grandma, I did the right thing." Which he did indeed.
This -for sure- humbled grandma and she quickly agreed that he was right and had done the best thing.
Way to go Ben! I am so proud of you for having a "strong heart" and such a desire to choose the right all the time. I am more grateful than I can express.

He really is an amazing and thoughtful kid. You are doing a good job with him and helping him expand on the gifts God gave him.
wow grandma- oh she kills me. Ben ROCKS! Such a GOOD GOOD kid! Love that kid!
Ben is a great kid. One day, a really lucky woman is going to nab herself an angel for a husband.
Way to go Holly for teaching your kids right. :)
I'm glad he has good sense (even when an adult tells him something else).
