Start Them Young

Nothing says "responsible parenting" quite like abandoning your child with a mainframe computer from the 1970s and a COBOL manual! This is basically the programming equivalent of leaving your kid with dinosaurs as babysitters. That poor child is about to learn that semicolons aren't just for English class and that punch cards were the original "swipe right." The ultimate character-building exercise: debug COBOL or no dinner tonight! Honestly, this might explain why so many banking systems still run on ancient code - those traumatized children grew up and refused to ever touch the code again.

Yes, I'D Love That

Nothing says "welcome to the modern world, kiddo" quite like threatening lost children with manual memory management and pointer arithmetic. Because what every wandering child needs isn't their parents—it's a deep understanding of segmentation faults and buffer overflows! Forget about teaching them Python or JavaScript like a normal person. No, no, no. We're going FULL MASOCHIST MODE here. Let's skip the training wheels and go straight to malloc(), free(), and the existential dread of undefined behavior. These kids will either become systems programming legends or develop trust issues with computers. Probably both. This is basically the programming equivalent of "if you misbehave, you're getting coal for Christmas," except the coal is a 600-page K&R book and the Christmas is your entire future career.
