Applying What They've Learned
We proceed to unpack that anger, and I ask leading questions about whether it really is the child she is so angry with. A gaggle of girls immediately speak up with the assertion that she's really mad at the guy. "It's his fault," they say. All his? "His fault. He did this." Now wait a minute, I say, he wasn't alone in this situation, ya know what I mean? He wasn't the only one participating.
This stops them cold for a moment and then baby-faced V. calls out, "Mr. [TMAO], I'm visualizing!"
Then his buddy E., raises his hand: "I'm visualizing too!"
And from the back of the room, "I want to make a connection to this!"
"I can't stop visualizing!" V. says, and I'm not sure whether to be proud or horrified at what I've done.

Hilarious. Somehow they always manage to learn and remember the one thing they can use for comedy purposes... how is that?
Reminds me of the scene in CATCH-22 where Yossarian, about to be kicked out of the hospital, begins to imitate the guy who in the bed next to him who sees two of everything. That is, until the guy nexts to him dies.
