Little Bo Peep
Has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them
Leave them alone
And they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them.
~ Nursery Rhyme

I think this is really, really bad advice for children in terms of responsibility. I mean, I know sometimes kids have pets or farm animals to help them learn how to take care of things. However, the message of this nursery rhyme is not good in preparing people to be parents because children do not have tails.
Also, I know this isn't the kind of Peep in the photo, but I'm pretty sure Bo Peep was before cameras and that she's dead by now. Probably died in poverty after losing that shepherding job.
