Why don't they listen??

[Mr. Bloom]

Sundial, your hubby should be thankful for having you! Driving all the way out there to pick him up and save him from beng drenched and hit by lightning. He is a stubborn hubby! Waiting to the very last minute to finally jump into the car!

Sundial, I would have done exactly what you did. But frankly, I think that Silver might have been upset if I did this for her- depending on how bad the conditions were.

First, she wouldn't have done something like this...but if she had, absent her calling me and asking for help, she might have felt "parented" and "over protected" by my initiative. Silver, would you agree?

I don't think hubby was necessarily stubborn, but maybe he and buddy wanted to press the limit to learn the limit...if they survived, they would have made a "big fish" story that would have become a hurricane survival guide at the next club ride.

Is this stubborn or persistence? Persistence is an attribute...excess persistence is something bad we call stubbornness...it can be a fine line between the attribute and the excess.
