...Maxwell Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (Columbia). Soulful, seductive and as smooth as lingerie, this charismatic R. and B. theme album follows a single love affair from the eyes-meeting-across-a-crowded-club start all the way to the marriage-proposal endgame.

I might not stop her, but I would certainly slow her down. I didn't go the confession route, either. If you let them confess and you don't put them under house arrest, you are admitting your own waning authority, which even kids...
