I always told my kids they were allowed to make the dumb mistakes, but not the stupid ones. I defined the dumb mistakes as the little bits of education we pick up in our lives. The things we do that only embarass us, cost us not too much cash, the small scrapes that band-aids or a sling can help heal. Stupid mistakes are the ones with a large potential to get you dead. Sitting around with friends and drinking till you puke is generally only a dumb mistake. Drinking a similar amount and then getting behind the wheel is the stupid version. I try to impress on them they should at least think which class a questionable act would probably fall into. What (how bad) are the potential results? So far, all three have maintained both life and limb.

This is about as ethereal as I can get:

I never wanted to do this in the first place!
I... I wanted to be...

A LUMBERJACK!

(piano vamp)

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a .... a Bra????
(mounties break off song, and begin insulting lumberjack)

Girl: (crying) I thought you were so rugged!

It's neither. With the back and forth bantering of Carleton and Smarty- it's quit delightful.
