I just had this encounter about half an hour ago. Please imagine the conversation with the girls speaking in Scottish accents:
Me: (walking down the Royal Mile)
(stepping around a bunch of little primary school-age girls chattering away)
Little girl 1: Excuse me!
Me: Mm?
Little girl: Don't you think he's ugly? *brandishes poster of Justin Bieber, some child singer I've heard about but don't pay attention to* He's ugly, isn't he?
Little girl 2: No he's not!
Little girl 1: Yes he is! Don't you agree? Look at him! He's ugly!
(At this point, I've stopped walking, and they're skipping along)
Me: Um, well, isn't he like 14?
Chorus of little girls: YES! (actually 16 now that I checked)
Me: Um--
Little girl 1: He really is ugly!
Little girl 2: No he isn't!
Me: Well, I've heard of him, but I don't really know that much...
Little girl 1: Oh...
(girls run off giggling)
Ah, kids.
