S Go to your ...

Ok, so this is far more adorable compliance, and I'll readily admit the first half is ridicously common.

So, not surprisingly sometime in elementary school, I get told to go to my room. Naturally, I listen, turn around and come back out again almost instantly. Malicious compliance, just not that interesting.

The entertaining part is 15 years later my parents have a golden retriever who's a seeing eye puppy who had a chance of career due to health issues. (You can't have a seeing eye dog with only one good eye. )

Low and behold, like many Golden retrievers he gets ridiculously over excited by guests. He gets told to go to his crate, and locked in for a bit until he calms down. So after a little while we end up with the following pattern:

Dog gets too excited, he's told to go to his crate.

He goes in, turns around, and comes back out again instantly

However, he knows he needs to be calmer, and he is.

So it works, and it continues for years.

I'm imagining a seeing eye puppy with its own seeing eye puppy.

I'm also imagining the hockey penalty box.

Now I want to send myself to my own room.
