Is smallsteps wearing a bow on her wrist? I've seen sorting through old photos and found a few of middle child at a similar age wearing a ribbon/bow tied around her wrist and am now wondering if it's an age thing XD
Prison seems nice, I can see why youngest was arguing that it doesn't seem like such a big deal as you get free food and housing and all the perks and social stigma is too abstract a concept to mean anything at all to him (and by the time he understands what it means then it's probably way too late).
