redefining "tough"

Me: Hey Alex, what do you think of the new shoes I got?
Alex: Are they for me?

Me: Um, nooo...

Alex: Can I try them on?

Me: I guess so.

Alex: These shoes are scary.
Me: They're scary?
Alex: Yeah, 'cuz they're really tall.

Me: Your dad's reaction when he sees you in those shoes is what's going to be scary.
Alex: But they fit me!

Me: Sort of...you can get your feet in them, I guess.

Alex: Hey, I can walk in them, and now they're not scary anymore!

Me: They're not?
Alex: No, because I'm tough!
Me: Yeah. You're tough.
