Gloat 1-Both of my (teenaged) sons hug me if I am crying. If they caused it, they do their utmost to "make nice w/ Mom."

Gloat 2-One of my sons has the admirable personality trait of being able to (sometimes) benefit from the experiences of others. He will listen attentively & then decide the right course of action for himself.

I love them both to pieces!
