Hey. Don't touch that burner on the stove. Hot. Oh. Ok. Don't touch it. Just walk away. Right. Uh-huh. It's me. Your dad. I love you and I'm telling you, don't touch it. It's hot. Yeah. Gonna stand here 'til it's cool and touch it, aren't you? Oh, yeah.

It kicks in right after the ‘do-the-opposite-of-what-they-say’ phase. Assuming they survive that phase.

Oh, he knows what to do. 1) don’t touch hot stuff. You remember what happened last time. And… 2) touch that and prove dad is wrong.
The trouble comes in when you have these competing instincts… Personally, I get a little satisfaction when I see my oldest son get these conflicting stimuli and his li’l brain sizzles.

Or: drop a few droplets of water on the hot burner to see them skitter and sizzle. See, Dad? It’s hot!
