Chris and Brad's son sound like, what I use to be like.  My Daddy called it "Hard headed".  He would say, "Oh, have it your way,  You know it all.  You can't take my word for it so learn it the hard way, Miss Hardheaded."   I wonder if my head got so hard from bumbing it so much when I was little.   I think they will be ok.  They have been raised right and have God on thier sides.  Just keep praying and loving them.
