Mnemonic

As you hit one chump after another, suddenly your dad (だ) comes marching out of your house. Uh oh. Dad caught you hitting, which, honestly, isn't a very nice thing to do, so he has every right to stop you.

Now imagine your dad saying, "Don't do a hit!" over and over at you. "I'm sorry dad! But the streets were calling me!"
