an example: A small child sees a grandmother picking her nose, and being caught in an awkward situation the G'parent says:" I have no tissues". Now the child thinks it is ok to pick their nose because they never have any tissues around.Should the g'parent be blamed for the habit of the child?
another example: Let's say I just bought a hot new car.At lunch i'm bragging to friends about how well it handles thru some windy turns on a road that everyone knows.Now lets say an aquaintence overhears my braggard, and takes his family sedan thru the same windy turns and wrecks his car.
In each instance a bad habit made influence on someone else.The question is: should those who know of your "bad habit" chastise you for someone else picking up on it?
