I don't know how you have your application encapsulated or even what
you consider behavior but if it were me I would skip trying to be
clever and skip trying to override methods I have no business being in
and simply hook into creation on the model:

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Callbacks.html just
because it's tied to the database does not mean it's strictly an
interface between your app and the database ;).
