"I know." She graced the two adults with an exhausted, sympathetic smile. "It's not that we don't know it was wrong, it's that we didn't think about it at the time since we don't see it like that."
Since Howard seemed to have lost his usual weaselly tongue, Diana took over completely. "I guess, the minor laws like that don't really come into play when you've gone without them so long." There was no police in FAYZ to be worried about. No, in FAYZ you had to be cautious and sneaky about snatching because they other children might steal your things, or beat you to near death, or both. Or you could be one of those kids doing the stealing and beating.
"Breaking the law and it's consequences isn't something we've had to worry about for awhile." Just the rules whoever was in charge for the moment put into place.
