Every time I hit the entry for “reckless” I get sent to “proper”. Perhaps there is a broken link…

Thanks!

It is the Captain. I thought it would work because he’s very proper, but he also wasn’t a yes-man, by any means. I thought of Mary Poppins too, because she was proper, but she was also very untraditional. This trait was interesting because there seem to be a lot of different proper characters out there.

Hey, that picture is of the Captain from The Sound of Music, isn’t it?

So few people are every purely proper. I personally like the idea of a clumsy Proper.

I'm a big fan of James Herriot's vet memoirs. He had a wonderful story about a very proper woman cursed with a farting dog, which Susan's comment made me remember.

Okay, I just read Susan’s comment and I completely forgot what I wanted to say because I’m laughing so hard. That’s just too funny!

Very common when you want to demonstrate a clash of cultures or generations.

I think it would be absolutely hysterical to give a Proper a serious case of flatulence…
