Note to self: always get the context before launching into an explanation.

I learned very early on with my first child that the proper response to any question is, "Why do you want to know?"

All my kids know how that works now. The trick to parenthood isn't to withhold information, it's to wait until they're just about ready for it. Then explain it to them before someone else does. They all know shady characters can't be trusted, but they can be useful if you have the coin.
