Teach Your Children Well

From Scott "Astral Codex Ten" Alexander, January 29:

My son has created a primitive pillow fort. My daughter, unable to break her way in, has wandered to the kitchen and is eating his half-finished dinner while he screams "NO! MINE!" from behind his walls. I could stop her, but I think it's important to let children learn important lessons like "When the enemy's fortifications are impregnable, pillage the countryside until starvation forces them out."
