I've always liked the "teach kid cool stuff and to not be a total tool" idea as well, but my tentative plan for that is when I've learned enough cool stuff that I feel like I have a good enough knowledge base (through world travel, hopefully) to start that sort of thing, I'll ADOPT. Probably like a five or so year old boy.
I'm talking a couple more languages, wilderness survival, extensive cultural awareness, martial arts, Flash basics, proper joint rolling, cleaning and maintenance of a droid army, etc.
