What did you struggle to explain to your dcs?

[KathyMCMLXXII]

Had a day out with my nephews yesterday, which reminded me of one last summer when we went to the local 'maize maze'. There was a sign up advertising 'naked maze night' which we stupidly read out in front of our nephews (then 3 and 6).
Spent the rest of the day struggling to come up with an answer to incessant questions about 'But why do people want to go in the maze without any clothes on?'

What did you struggle with explaining to your children?

Am struggling to get DD1 (3.5) to understand the difference between 'late' and 'dark'.
She'll say, 'I can't see in the bathroom, it's late' or 'is daddy coming home dark tonight?'.

I guess with summer coming and late and dark not happening at the same time it will sort itself out. Makes me smile everytime though....

Ds2 asked "how and why is the sky blue??" the other day

I was very honest and said I have absolutely no idea

Whats the difference between a stew and a casserole ??? God knows - ask Delia I just chuck it all in the slow cooker and somedays I call it a stew and some days a casserole, I have a pretty limited culinary reportoire (sp?)
