Wonderful words to a shy younster. When I was a teenager a family friend's parting words were always, "If you can't be good be careful." I have since learned that this was a WWII expression used by a racy, or wanna-be racy, set in London, and she did live there although she had two small children at the time. Although she was nothing like them I can easily imagine the Andrews Sisters singing this in harmony. Your dad was a treasure! Wonderful words to a shy younster.
