    Just kids! That’s about the craziest argument I’ve ever heard. Every criminal in the world was a kid once. What does it prove?

    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
    But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
    That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.
    —Mark Alexander Boyd (1563–1601)
