Perhaps my bride will send me to China and commit me

I can see the future, and in the future I'm in Daxing, China, sitting with Sun Jiting.

From Ariana Eunjung Cha at the Washington Post:
Sun Jiting spends his days locked behind metal bars in this military-run installation, put there by his parents. The 17-year-old high school student is not allowed to communicate with friends back home, and his only companions are psychologists, nurses and other patients. Each morning at 6:30, he is jolted awake by a soldier in fatigues shouting, "This is for your own good!"

Sun's offense: Internet addiction.
That's funny: "For your own good" was what my bride yelled as she tossed my laptop down the stairs, with me following shortly after.
