My brother’s girlfriend sent me this video last week. I think it’s a topic worth discussing.
Here’s the synopsis: A man goes to a playground with a fluffy white puppy. He approaches random mothers and explains that he is conducting a social experiment to see if kids will willingly walk away with a stranger with a smile on his face and a puppy in his arms or not. Every single mummy is certain that their child will put what they have learnt about talking to strangers into action and run away, returning to their parents’ safe embrace. Of course, they don’t. One by one, the kids take the man’s hand and walk off, leaving their mothers gobsmacked, to say the least.
