I do believe that the responsibility worked much better in Bilbo's case than a punishment would have done. Bungo was a wise father to figure that out. Author Reply: I think you are right. While there was an element of punishment there (it definitely cut into Bilbo's free time) it was mostly a lesson in trust and responsibility, as you say. Bungo was indeed a very wise father! | |

Once again I admire Bungo's education methods. Really clever! And I agree, "Fuddlebuckets" is a great hobbity word :-) Author Reply: I am so glad you agree about Bilbo's education. I just adored "fuddlebuckets" when I saw it! | |

Yes, a good responsibility can be the making of a person, be he Man or Hobbit. I so admire Bungo's wisdom here. Author Reply: Bungo is a wise hobbit, and he knows that his son needs to learn to stand on his own. | |

"...the next time Chop suggests something daft like stealing Gandalf's fireworks or Siggy decides that pummeling one another's teeth out is a good way to earn money, he will have the wisdom and the backbone to say 'no'." I'm sure it worked, that is, until a certain number of Dwarves came to call. :) Author Reply: LOL! Of course, I am sure Gandalf himself had something to do with that! *grin* | |
