Had the kids been mocking a bald-headed prophet?

Nice touch. Most folks won't know about that one.

That's a little obscure to not include the reference.

2 Kings 2:23 - 2:25 (KJV)
23 And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
