Child See. Child Do

A woman gets cut off while driving and yells angry remarks at the driver and flips him the bird. Her four year old daughter sticks her head out the window and sticks out her middle finger, calling the driver a retard.1

A man stands smoking on a street corner, his six year old son takes out his own cigarette and smokes it, when it's time to go, he drops it on the ground and puts it out with his shoe.2

Another man slaps his wife, his 10 year old son kicks his mother in the shin, calling her a prostitute. With his little hand, he punches her in the face, his father couldn't have done it better himself.3

Another woman takes out her fifth wine cooler and brings it to her mouth, her two year old daughter gets some rum from the fridge and pours it into her sippy cup, cheers to a good night with her teddy bear, and drinks up.4

Another man sees that the pay phone doesn't work, but it already took his quarter. He smashes it against the box and yells. His five year old son screams and pulls the phone out of the cord.5

Another woman is sick of that chained dog barking all the time. She grabs some rocks and throws them at the helpless creature. Her eight year old daughter runs and gets her baseball bat out of the garage and comes back to swing at the dog.6

Another man storms up to the room where a baby cries, he tells the young one to shut up and shakes it hard. His four year old son grabs the baby's jumper and slams the infant against the floor of it's crib.7

Child see. Child do. Child end up just like you.

Author notes

I was inspired to write this because of a video on youtube, check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWUtywfwsMw very powerful.

For contest: 3 blondes are walking and they see some tracks. "These are moose tracks." States the first blonde. "No, these are elk tracks," contradicts the second blonde. "You're both wrong," declares the third blonde, "these are deer tracks." They kept agruing until a train hit them, since they were on the train tracks.

    Oh, my god. Sick and twisted with an air of simplicity and purpose. The message was very strong, and I love the way you ended it. Great job, and good luck in my contest!

    This is really sad... the way it is written so simply adds to the strength of the entire piece. The message is clear and very deep. Nicely done. Thank you for entering!
