And is a tale used as a last resort to frighten recalcitrant children into behaving.
I suspect it might be used as a last resort to frighten recalcitrant parents of young children into behaving."Behave or we give your children bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy"
In very serious cases add a drum kit.

got a name for the painter/painting, it's fascinating
Adriaen van der Werff - he was a fascinating guy!
thanks, found it now, wondering what the person at the front is holding!
It's a mouse trap, according to the person who posted the picture on Twitter.
now that is fascinating, build a better mouse trapA lot of his other stuff is also interesting :-)
I read his wikipedia entry and he had an interesting life and career!
yes he was impressive :-)And I like his stuff
You probably have a backlog of pictures at the moment, but I couldn't resist this one :)
I don't see why you should resist itBut I've managed to use some of the backlog :-)
How do you come across these pictures GL? Do you purposefully go on an obscure picture search?
It's a question I've never dared ask :-)

Not nearly as nefarious as I had hoped
Wait, do you want me to start looking for pictures? I don't want to get banned from this thread!

danger of cuteness overload at one point :-)
Artist using own children as models?
they've got more children than entirely necessary for an artist starving in a garret ! :-)

Apparently wailing is more profitable than spreading rumour. Unless planned and organised by Mutt, of course.
Have some carrots. (from Twitter)

I think you are doing just fine with the pictures without having to go looking for them!
It's surprising what Tallis can use :-)

I found the rabbit!
Rabbit and carrot stew for dinner :)
I recognise that picture :)This teacher is cross-eyed - he can't control his pupils...
I love it, the detail!The boy over on the left whose backside is falling out of his trousers!
The child offering a pair of spectacles to the owl
And there seem to be two teachers, one may be a woman
Tallis must be cery pleased
Very, even...Well done
thanks RosemaryHe's so chuffed even I might get a drink out of him :-)
Well done Tallis - I raise a toast to you.Here's a joke to celebrate.
Q: What warning shout do you give when pushing a bull off a bell-tower?
A: "WATCH OUT BELLOW!"
groan, and I don't want the picture of it :-)
