But I can be honest with them and say, "I can't answer that question." We've explained to our boys that there are times in life when you're too young for some knowledge...that it can be too heavy to carry. When they're old enough, we'll tell them more, but they're going to just have to trust that we love them and want to protect them as much as possible. Because we strive to be honest with them always, this arrangement has worked so far. Yes, it has caused them some frustration, but we've done our best to keep the promise and add to what we tell them as they've aged.It's probably not perfect, but it's the best I can do.
