DIY Parent Medicine

[glatt]

I used to make up cautionary stories about a foolish kid named Dwayne who makes really horrible choices and ends up dying. Used to do it for years. It was really fun, and it worked well too. Great for teaching them what not to do.

Now "Dwayne" is a sort of safe word that they can work into a phone conversation with us so we know they need us to come pick them up or extract them from a situation or something. Hope they never need to use it.

I hope they never meet a real person named Dwayne, because they will have prejudices against the moron.
