"Can I play switch all day?" 

That was Joe asking. He's given up playing his Nintendo switch for Lent but wondered, for March break, could he just play once? And could it be all day? 

Sure, David told him. But first you have to be nice to all your siblings for one whole day. 

And that was a delightful day. Now's your time, kids! Do all the things that usually annoy him! He can only say nice things to you today! 

Anyway, he succeeded and was nice and he got his promised reward... switch for a day. He gave himself breaks to eat and go outside and read a book but, for the most part, he played. Couldn't even be bothered to move when his siblings watched a show.

Just goes to show that with a lot of heart and commitment, you can do anything you set your mind to. Right? There's a good lesson in this?
