[ QUOTE ]
I'm guessing your son is around 2 years old (or less)... These "kids" are old enough to read, write and understand what we are telling them, but yet still refuse to understand the long term consequences of the subject... The reason your sub-2 year old son doesn't understand is mostly a language barrier, here there is no language barrier...

[/ QUOTE ] It's not a language thing, it's a comprehension thing. He comprehends things that are far more advanced then forward and reverse so it baffles me why he can't get this one. But some times, some things just don't click in a person's head. Even as an adult there are things that easily make sense to one person and not the other. I just don't see that as any reason to be mean. It's not like any one here said "Screw all you old farts, you don't know what you are talking about and I'm going do what I want." Brian is just asking questions because he is trying to understand, not because he's trying to be defiant.

I did notice though FC that your following posts have calmed down and been more explanitory then instulting and I appreciate that. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
