One day at the police headquarters, I had arranged a visitation for a local Boys’ Brigade’ outfit and while escorting them around the office and taking them into the various rooms, for example, fingerprinting, taped interview room and the cells, etc. Some of the boys had wandered off by themselves into a room displaying several male photographs on one part of the wall, with a sign above, which read, ‘Top Ten List’.
‘Who are they?’ asked one small boy.
Exaggerating my answer, to make their visit more interesting for them, I said, ‘Those are photographs of the ten most wanted men in Scotland!’
The same small boy, pointing to the wall, enquired again. ‘They’re the ten most wanted men in Scotland?’
‘That’s correct.’ I replied forthrightly.
‘Well,’ said the young boy, pausing for a moment. ‘Don’t you think it would have been a good idea to lock them up in prison when you were taking their photographs?’
Don’t you just love kids?
