You might have been someone's little darling once ...

I certainly wouldn't have been allowed to damage other people's
property.

And if you had been allowed to?

An odd question.

I'd have been given a bollocking, and the person who's property I had
damaged would have been offered an apology and, if appropriate,
recompense. Sorry if that's an old-fashioned notion, I realise that it is
no longer considered necessary to take responsibility for the behaviour of
one's children .

No, you didn't understand the question. Why am I not surprised?

Last time it happened to me the woman in charge of the kids neither
apologised nor pointed out to the kids that they should be more careful.

And the time before?

Mary
