It Wasn't Nurture - Trust Me! Bryan Caplan My basic model of children is that they are extremely honest adults. They say what they think, not what they are supposed to think. So what am I to make of the following incident? The scene: Sunday night at 8:10 in my home theater The cast: Me and my 4-year-old sons Me: It's time for a new Homer (that's what my kids call The Simpsons)! Sons: Yay! Homer! [I turn on the t.v. and go to the DVR menu. Horrors! Our favorite cartoon has been pre-empted by baseball.] Me: Sorry, boys. There's no new Homer tonight. They're showing baseball instead. Sons: What! They can't do that! Make them show Homer. Me: Sorry, we're out of luck. Sons: They're being bad! We should call the police and send them to jail!... econlog.econlib.org
