[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We usually go with "what do you think" followed by "any other possibilities?" And finally we throw in a "I think any of your ideas could be the answer." And we leave it at that.[/quote]

I think only a simple kid would accept that. [/quote]

Actually, it takes a really intelligent kid to accept this.  One that can actually think of some creative theories and solutions, other than "I don't know."  Its pretty cool listening to all the different theories and explanations my child comes up with, each year more elaborate than the last.  Personally, I do not want to be caught in a lie so I like feeding into the "mystery".  I am comfortable with my child knowing that I don't always know all the answers, but that I can hypothesize and make educated guesses based on my prior knowledge and experience. Sometimes when we use this train of thought for more real situations, we conclude by investigating information online or in the library, finding a documentary, etc.[/quote]
