Oh everyone makes mistakes so why can't you...

... oder wie mein Bruder und ich zur Sesamstraßen-Schallplatte ca. 1979 lauthals sangen und dabei über Betten und Sofas hüpften:

Ein jeder macht mal Fehler so auch du [oder ich und du?]
Dein Bruder, deine Schwester, die Familie gehört dazu!
Große Leute, kleine Leute, und in der Tat, alle Leute
Alle machen Fehler so auch du!

Gut, dabei bin ich an die Heizung geknallt und hatte Nasenbluten und es gab mächtig Ärger *grins*

Aber heute hatte ich davon einen ordentlichen Ohrwurm und hab das Lied online gesucht. Leider gibt es nur das amerikanische Original. Also, zum Trost für alle, die mal Fehler machen:



I've a special secret children ought to know;
It's about the little mistakes you make as you begin to grow.
If you make a mistake, you shouldn't start to cry.
Mistakes are not so bad, and here is why:

Oh everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

If you make a mistake while counting to ten,
Well don't get mad and don't be sad;
Just start to count again.
And if you should only get to eight or nine,
I'm still your friend and I still like you fine,

'Cause everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

If you spill a glass of milk all over the floor,
Well, your mom and dad still like you just as much as they did before,
'Cause when Mother and Dad were just as small as you,
I'll bet that they knocked their milk over too.

'Cause everyone makes mistakes.
Oh, yes they do
Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;
Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

If everyone in the whole wide world makes mistakes,
Then why can't you?
