To which the kids reply but we won't get caught.(avoid the consequences and do what you want) Kids say the darndest things don't they?

cosmicforce says:

There is ALWAYS a risk of getting caught.
You are hanging out with criminals!
You might be shot!
If it was your bank, you wouldn't want it robbed!
Do you want to be the kind of person who robs banks?
Is there an example of a person you want to emulate that has robbed banks?
How did their life go?
What about when the money is gone?
Is is sustainable?
Will other efforts with less risk and harm produce better results?

cosmicforce jr.:

Okay, okay Dad you made your point.
or
Dad, despite all of the logic you give me, I must rob this bank.

Kid McRitchie:

or
