A Teachable Moment

I am so proud of my niece Gin Gin. She is such an accomplished young woman.
One of the things that I love about her the most is that she listens to me when I speak.
Once, when she was 17, I had a conversation with her about the boyfriend that she was seeing at the time. She told me that he played football.
I asked her what position did he play and she got mad at me. 

She told me that she did not know because she hated the sport.
I told her that she was slacking on her duties as his girlfriend. 
I told her that she did not need to like the sport to know which position he played. I told her that it was a good idea for her to know just in case someone else wanted to know about him as well. She thought about what I said for a minute and then she texted him. We found out that he played the position of the defensive end for the Pirates. 
In the end, she learned that she needed to ask her man more questions so she would not look ignorant when other people ask about him.
