Allowing children to partake of "merely a game of chance" recreation that merely uses a number-spinner or dice --- instead of actual skills, talent, or knowledge --- is just gonna start them down the road to debetchery!

I applied for a lumberjack's job and answered "excelled at loggerithms in high school" when I was asked what experience I had in da field. I got da job, but my foreman still just gives me a blank puzzled look each morning when I ask if he has any loggerithms for me to work out prior to our heading out into da forest.

A moving-air-powered electricity-generating device dat uses wrapped-cloth headgear for catching da breeze.
If you fed a lot of Arab sheiks baked beans and cabbage, perhaps they would produce enough flammable-methane farts dat you could make a "wind turban" device to burn said voluminous anal-fuel for powering an electrical generating station.

Loyalty to your country dat you show by willingly/trustingly sending Uncle Sam big bucks anytime he asks for them.
Linus van Pelt said dat he wanted to grow up to be "a great philanthropist with someone else's money". Sounds like Tronald Dump has done just dat --- telling us dat our financially supporting our government is da only way for us to show true paytriotism, yet being about da worst tax-dodger in recorded history himself!

To take a different travel-route in order to avoid having to bid farewell to one or more fellow humans.
In one of da "Garish Summit" episodes of da "Bob and Ray Show", da "Caldwell Merchfield" character tells da butler Wilford dat he wants to sneak out of da house at midnight to avoid having to go through "a long tearful goodbye" wif Miss Agatha or anybody else; da audience knows by this time dat this assertion is total hokum. of course --- da real reason dat Caldwell (not his real name, although we never learn what his name actually is) feels da need to perform said "byepass" is dat things are getting too hot for him in dat "stately splendor" community (a warrant has already been sworn out for his arrest due to his having embezzled huge sums from da Merchfield Lead Company to pay off mobster Harold W. Bigg for Caldwell's gambling debts), plus he does not want da authorities to find out who he really is.

The overused and ludicrously transparent procedure of trying to guilt-trip an over-indulger into reducing/eliminating his consumption of the unhealthful/expensive product by trying to appeal to his inherent consideration for fellow humans on the planet who might wish to have a little of the same item for themselves, too. This "this stuff is in alarmingly short supply, so don't hog it all for yourself" technique is seldom overly effective, especially in the modern-day computer age, wherein the glutton can simply “hop online” and find out for himself whether there is actually any imminent risk of said product’s being placed on the endangered species list.
I tried the worldwide shortage strategy on my corpulent cousin to try to convince her to cut back on the chips and chocolate bars, but she just showed me an article on MSNBC that described how the snack-food companies are currently experiencing a junk-food glut in their warehouses, what with so many people’s jumping on the health-nut bandwagon.

In Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" book, all of da children were experienced boat-operators, but since Roger Walker was only seven, he might have still needed at least some sloopervision from his older siblings or one of da Blackett sisters, especially if da weather on da lake was a bit blustery.
