Mason decided a little while ago he would walk over to the library. I told him, 'it is very cold out, you better wear your long underwear, a big coat, neck warmer, gloves, and such. He stood there in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with another open button-down shirt over it. 'Naw, I'll be fine,' he said. As he stood there, I typed http://weather.com into my internet browser. 'It's 23 degrees!' I said. 'You better get some warm clothes on. You will freeze if you don't.' He came back with, 'Why don't you just let me find out for myself instead of always telling me what to do? I'll be just fine.' "OK,' I said, 'see ya later.' So off he went. Now, mind you, it's a mile walk over to the library and a mile back. About 40 minutes later, here he comes walking in, about frozen. (He didn't even wear gloves!) 'I should've listened,' he said, 'I about froze to death,' he said as he touched my face with his very cold hands. I hated to say I told you so, but just couldn't resist. Teenagers! .....But to top it all off, the library was closed for Martin Luther King day.

It's tough when you love them so much that you want to protect them from everything that might harm or hurt them (even the weather) but they just have to learn the hard way. They don't seem to realize that you have already been the hard-headed one and you are just trying to save them from some pain and tough times. They don't want us to be their savior, just be there to pick up the pieces when things hurt!
Corbin sure looks cute in this picture. You had a good looking candidate for the pictures and a beautiful setting.
I agree, and I was probably the same way myself. Ugh.
Thanks, I think Corbin sure is cute, but then I'm very partial.
