# Exactly my point

"They were only 100 yards away".

100 yards away from where I'm sitting is the A1. Any parent round here wouldn't let kids that age out of their sight for 30 seconds, let alone 30 minutes.

# one of the theories for why man have a better spacial intelligence than women
is that girls are never allowed to wander by themselves by (over)protective parents.

You must realize that checking on them every 30 min is as efficient as a liquid ban on airplanes (i.e. it only makes sense under the assumption that all wrongdoings are "casual" and never properly planned)
