When I was just 18 I applied to be a helper at a school holiday club. One of the questions at the interview was “What would you do if you were outside with a group and some older teens started hassling you?” I, being shy and inexperienced, said I would call the police! I didn’t get the job. This morning while walking the dog, over 40 years later, I think I came up with the right response. I should have said “Do you want to come over here and I will look after you until your Mummies and Daddies can come and get you because behaving like that you are obviously not old enough to be out by yourself.” What do you think? And have you ever thought of the perfect response way too late?
