J.J. Watt has officially started corrupting your children. Well, at least one child.

A local Pre-K teacher in Houston -- looking to motivate her four-year-olds -- replaced her Elf on the Shelf with a miniature Watt just in time for the holidays. It had damning ramifications beyond instilling societal values in her students.

"J.J. Watt is a shining example of hard work, dedication and kindness," Lindsay Duke of Bear Boulevard School in Spring Branch said, per ABC13. "All qualities I want to instill in my students, even at just 4 years old.

"Our Watt on the Spot is a daily reminder to be good citizens in the classroom, at school and in our day to day lives. They are excited to come to school each morning to see where J.J. is and what he has to say. When J.J. broke his hand, we made a cast for our doll, too. It has been the perfect mix of fun and classroom management."

"Watt on the Spot" was so influential, one of Duke's students converted to a Texans fan.

He comes from a family of Cowboys fans.

Imagine that conversation at the next parent-teacher conference. Good luck trying to explain to the parents why their life's work has been compromised by a six-inch doll.

Then again, who can blame the child? Who -- at a young age -- wouldn't idolize someone willing to play with a broken hand?
