Why Do I Do It?

I introduced Jill’s son to Magic: The Gathering, and now he wants to play all the time.  I introduced him to Mystery Science Theater 3000, and he put every episode he could find on NetFlix.  I introduced him to the song “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers, and now he compulsively listens to it in his room all the time, the repetitive baseline slowly driving me mad like some musical tell-tale heart.

I need to stop trying to share cool things with him.  It’s not good for my peace of mind.
