Cognitive Psych

My cognitive psych teacher works at a brain trauma rehab center. He went off on a tangent today and started saying that he wishes that when his children are old enough to comprehend, that he wants to take them into work. He wants to show them all the bad things that can happen when people drink and drive and generally do stupid things. He hops that it'll make his children more aware of the choices they made so that they aren't ever in the same situation as those poor people.

I wish I could do the same thing if I ever had kids. Except, i'd totally fuck with my kids heads.

"Daddy, why is that guy drooling from his mouth like that?"
"You see, son, that's what happens when you drink and think it's cool to jump off a building into an empty pool."
"Oh... i'm never drinking when i grow up"
"Good for you son"

*Walk past another person*

"What happen to this guy? He keeps yelling and then smiling"
"Oh, you see son, this is what happens when you don't eat your vegetables"
"... Daddy?"
"Yea?"
"Are we going to have vegnables tonight?"
"We sure are."

*Walk past another person*

"Why is this guy in a wheel chair, daddy?"
"Oh, you see, half his body is paralyzed."
"What happened to him?"
"He didn't listen to his dad when he told him to do things the first time."
"..."
"But that won't ever happen to you because you always listen to me right?"
"Yes I do daddy."
"Then you don't have to ever worry about being like him."

*Walk past another person*

"Da--"
"He went to church."
"... i dun wanna ever go to church ever."
"Yea, it's pretty scary in there."

Alright, that last one is a little silly. But you get the idea.
