Men, bounce this off your ladies and see what they say.

Did your wife watch it yet?

They think differently...color coding is foreign to some.

Took me a while to take time to go through this...

I like it, it's a fresh take on Col. Cooper's first three color codes (not sure why she didn't do red).  It uses symantics and examples that might be more appealing to women (or to what some might deem the more typical female role).  Not being sexiast here, but a lot of women cannot relate to things like color codes, or just don't need the analogies.

I constantly talk to my wife about this stuff, and have never taught her the color codes.  Usually I'm more specific about things though, rather than the whole awareness talk.  I will tell her why it's important to get in her car in the garage before opening the garage door, and close the garage door before getting out of the car, specific things like that.  She listens, and I think it gets through, she is pretty good about being aware.

I'll show her this video and see how well it sinks in.
