I wish I would have listened to mine before I made a gawdawful mistake early in my life! Yikes
It took a long time before I realized how right my parents were when they were looking out for me. Youth by it's very nature ignores experience...how's that great old saying?:.... "Youth is wasted on the young" .... LOL My daughter will soon be entering the teen years and my hairs are readying themselves to stand up on end. I start to tell her stuff and she gets that roller--up eyeballs thing. Hoo boy, here we go...!
But better a warning in time than a casualty in the making.
