How'd he know?

At the exit off of I-80 we use to get to Mike's old stomping grounds in New Jersey, we pass the North Jersey Developmental Center. On our recent vacation, as we drove past this place, Matthew asked Mike what it was. Mike told him that when kids are naughty and don't listen to their parents, they get sent there to live.

Matthew's response: "Dad, did you go there?"

(For the record, Mike does know that it's really a home for the developmentally disabled, but as a teenager, he really did think it was some sort of reform school.)
