Confidence at Seven years old

Tonight when we were walking out of religious ed, Fr. B was standing in the hallway talking to the kids and the parents. Seven comes right out and says to Fr. B "I've got something I want to tell you. I really liked that joke you told me this week." Fr. B laughed and asked Seven to stand up and say that after the joke he will tell next Sunday. I was really surprised that Seven spoke up in front of all these kids and parents. It was a great moment for Seven.
