The good Lord made my children grow up very quickly and move out, because if He heard "I told you so" one more time, He was gonna have to rap me upside the head. Funny thing is, I was always right. I mean ALWAYS. (when it came to the ITYS's. Kids now say "how did you always know??" Yah, that intuition is so powerful. Still is, even 110 miles away from them. You're a good man, Nick. Get some rest.

Holy cow!I probably skipped the "I told you so" route, only because I heard that roughly 900 million times growing up. But you're right, experience is a great teacher.

Helen,I'll be pushing it and also using it as my "excuse" when I ask people not to walk off. It should help for a good while till the forget why they are not safe.Peter,I really wanted to laugh and say I told you, but they were scared so I did what I could to help calm them. I told you can wait. Normally I get much more rest but this month was a confluence of events that led to several very long weeks. Wendy,Have I ever mentioned that every time I see ur name I think of the seen in Peter Pan when she gets shot and the boys go "Wendy Wendy?" Thought you would want to know.

I have to say that I totally would have gone the "I told you so" route. I sure hope they listen next time.

I totally would have said "I told you so!" I probably would have giggled while saying it.This is why I don't work with youth any more! :-)My wife and I would have fallen apart and possibly even gone postal if our lives had been anything like you described here.Wow.You know even Jesus took time to rest, right?

Wow. I am sorry the young person got robbed. It was good that you didn't say I told you so…Hopefully the rest of the youth are smart enough to learn from someone else's mistake.
