Over here from Syn, this is a fantastic little post, and yet another tiny crowbar in the part of my brain that contains children.
My mother's approach was to look me over very carefully when I staggered into the house from the back yard, then tell me that no, I wasn't muddy enough, that I'd just have to go back out again. Admittedly I now get bored very easily and feel lazy if I'm not doing -something- interesting, but I don't think either of those traits are actually bad ones.
