Final thought… growing up in Hawaiʻi, many of us heard stories of haunted roads and streets that we should NEVER drive on at night! Our elders instructed us to heed the warnings and respect the lore. Of course, all that did was prompt us to do the opposite. That inability to resist an urge and ignore a warning is something many of us cannot control. How many of you have touched a freshly painted surface, even after reading a "Wet Paint" sign? It is safe to say, we've all been afflicted by the psychological ailment, the Wet Paint Syndrome. The Wet Paint Syndrome applies to other warning signs:
· Caution, Contents May Be Hot
· Danger High Voltage
· Do Not Enter, Restricted Area
· No Smoking
· Caution, Slippery Rocks
· AVOID THE HAUNTED KAUAʻI TREE TUNNEL…
Unfortunately, as you'll hear in the next "What School You Went?" audio podcast, there is no cure for the Wet Paint Syndrome.
You've been warned…
