So, tomorrow I give my seminar on mentally ill children. Why did I think this was a good idea? I’m pretty afraid of what’s going to come out of my mouth. Either it’ll be bloody brilliant or I’ll say something that will get me sued for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (they’ll lose on the mental state).
I’m reminded of the sage advice my friend Rebekka’s dad gave her and her brother when he took them to a dance at the school where he taught developmentally disabled kids: “Now, don’t you two act like a couple of fuckin’ retards tonight!”
Yep.

No doubt it will be brilliant, hopefully not bloody though. And no chance of negligent infliction of emotional distress either (no physical injury). Are you planning to say something controversial?
Not planning on saying anything controversial. Very strong personalities in the class though. Somehow every seminar ends up ridiculously controversial. We'll see...hopefully the loudmouths will spend most the 2 hours talking so I don't have to.
