What's the Matter With Kids These Days?

They don’t know what they want. They show up unprepared. They’re lacking in enterprise and courage.
But is this true? Consider some evidence to the contrary:

Largo, Florida – Police are looking for a little girl who pulled a knife on a Wal-Mart clerk as she tried to steal two boxes of Lego toy blocks.

It happened [at] the Missouri Avenue [store] around 9:00 pm Tuesday night. Police say the 7 to 8-year-old girl hid the toys under her coat and tried to walk out the door.

A store employee was watching and approached the child, asking her to turn over the Lego blocks. Police say the little girl then opened her jacket and displayed a combo carving knife with a forked point and a 10″ blade, saying she was armed for protection.

The employee talked the girl into putting down the knife and the toys.

The article’s final sentence is priceless:

The girl rode away on her bicycle.

Was that with or without training wheels?
