The best piece of parenting advice I ever got from my own mother was, don't ask the question if you don't want to know the answer.

I love how many of those singers have just the slightest tiny twitch at the corner of their mouth, like they're trying so hard not to bust straight out laughing.

That's wonderful.
Speaking of O Fortuna, misheard lyrics for the original.

Speaking of Carmina Burana, I recently found on YT the full version of that wild 1975 European Television production, which took me quite by surprise when I saw it on CBC-TV in my youth...

Amazing! A parenting related post where we made it at least five comments without someone saying, "this is why I'm glad I'm not a parent"!

That was hilarious. Brilliant!
I love how many of those singers have just the slightest tiny twitch at the corner of their mouth, like they're trying so hard not to bust straight out laughing.
I want to see the blooper reel.
