What are these minors doing outside the house at this time of the night? When will we start persecuting parents for negligence?

You know, I had excellent parents, who didn't allow us out after 11 pm, ever, and that was only for special occasions. That didn't stop us from finding a way to sneak out in the middle of the night on a couple of occasions, though. Teens are resourceful.

You know something, I had excellent parents too, who were very particular about who I was with, where I was at, and when I'd be home. And to be honest, I had enough RESPECT for my parents not to break their rules. Teens who find it necessary to rely on their "resourcefulness" -- IMHO -- not only disrespect their parents, but show little respect for themselves through dishonesty and deceitfulness. Any of us can call it "resourcefulness" all we want, but in actuality it's dishonesty and deceit.

Happens more than one would think. Kids next door to me had a path worn in the grass.
