People do really dumb things, esp when we're young. Yesterday acouple teens decided to drive on the lake and got stuck. Luckily they were close to the edge so if they had gone through the ice there wouldn't have been much damage. It took a while and my borrowed tow strap and they were free.

For the first time , while watching them, I forgot what it was like to be young. I was irratated that they were down here where they didn't belong, and was ready to go after them if they did any damage. While raising my kids I cut a lot of slack by remembering what it was like to be young. I think as parents we forget and act like we were total angels.
