Degenerate Youth

What has happened to children these days? They're just not the way they used to be...

As the two wayfarers came within the precincts of the town, the children of the Puritans looked up from their play--or what passed for play with those sombre little urchins,--and spake gravely one to another:--

"Behold, verily, there is the woman of the scarlet letter; and, of a truth, moreover, there is the likeness of the scarlet letter running along by her side! Come, therefore, and let us fling mud at them!"

[Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter]
