Kids: smarter than you'd think
I used to attend a weekly drama class. (SYT, if you're asking. And a Sailor Jerry & Coke while you're at it) Whilst it was mostly a pissing-around contest, we'd improv scenes as well and it was something to look forward to during exam season.

One day we did an exercise where one person is a king/president/some fucker who needs a bunch of people to follow him. For the sake of argument, let's say this person played a cheap Asda-own brand Moses and we were trying to get on his ark. (no innuendo intended, just a happy coincidence)

Everyone else took it in turns to demonstrate their worthiness to this person, talking about their own good deeds and such. (thankfully, you were allowed to just make shit up) The elected Moses would then decide if that person was worthy of a place and answer aye or naw. The only one I remember is when the lady who taught the drama class made her case.

Paraphrasing, it went as such. She saw the plight of the homeless - people without a roof or a family, living rough, begging for money - and that she had thought to herself "This is wrong!". (key phrase) She continues, talking about how she opened her doors to the homeless, eventually choosing to stay on the street herself so that more of the unfortunate could be warm at night, etc...

At that moment, one of the youngest of the class (no older than 9, methinks) pipes up "But you just said it was wrong?"

Mirth ensued. Even more mirth ensued when the teacher didn't get on the ark.
