There is a beauty to doing things yourself, building things with your children.  If there is one thing that Nick has learned from his dad Victor is being close to your sons and guiding their character takes precedence over anything in life.

The Young and the Restless / family-company-business Summary, Thursday December 15, 2017 / s46, episode 74

The writing on the Young and the Restless has become quick, focused, sharp, bold over this last 12 years of massive socially sensitive issues.

The phrase “my favorite mistake” in American English simply means- “I failed in an endeavor. However, by failing I was freed up and a much better situation presented itself. ”

Sheryl Crow’s My Favorite Mistake is a brilliant lyric on its own. It reads as well as a poem as a song. Good fun drama.

The song is fantastic, as the bass line sounds like classic Rolling Stones or Tho Who or The Pretenders. That said, the lyric in the song,

Young and the Restless has gotten crisp and brilliant. The writing has improved so much over the past 12 years I stand and applaud adjusting to social situations of extreme sensitivity with equanimity.

“Don’t you know when you go

It’s the perfect ending,

To the bad day,

I’d gotten used to spending.

Don’t you know,

When you go you’re my favorite mistake.”

That high level of sardonic conversation was reflected perfectly as character Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman on season 46, episode 74.
