Strike....I'll tell you the same thing I tell my son all the time (and insert your age for his....and remember I LOVE HIM....so it's not derogatory).

"I've BEEN 16, Mitch. You haven't been 44. When you get there....remember this conversation and tell me who was right."

I'm not speaking condescendingly to you guys. I'm proud of you. I wish you all the best.
