and *both* elements are necessary (whether they're coming from one parent only or both).

At a friends party a couple of kids were going out to play in the woods...
It turns out the friends were the teenage daughter and her new boy friend.

The mom: "Have fun."
The dad: "Be careful."

That exchange sums up parenting and contains everything.

ha ha.

I don't think I know any moms that would play that role, I know lots of dads that would play that role, and some of whom would be thinking the mom's line.

Still, if they're gonna have fun, they'd better be careful.

Bunyip?
Do we have another Aussie on board?
Welcome regardless.


ETA - your location quite clearly says you are Australian. Oops!

I have been lurking for some time now. I think I know who you mean.

It's a worry, isn't it?

Let Wikipedia be your friend for this. They go back 40,000 years and are still around (apparently).

Less elusive than the Yeti or Sasquatch and, by reputation, more deadly.
But then again, it would have to be, living in Australia!

This old bunyip may be coming to a swamp near you...'ware
