Independence at it's finest

Elli decided that she would walk home with Lex for a while. However, today she had cheerleading practice so I decided to walk up and meet him. He was waiting at the door with the lady in charge and I hear him say, "there's my parent." As he proceeds to walk PAST me he says, "I have papers for you" and then proceeds to walk a minimum of twenty feet ahead of me the entire way. Um, I think he's okay to walk by himself. He does love me, right???
