    Haha yeah my son is tired of my shit. You can see the instant regret sometimes as I “over explain” how something works. I’m trying to find a good balance so he doesn’t stop asking questions.

      A trick I found with my little cousin was to pretend to think about it for a minute. I’d say "ummm … " and furrow my brow and be quiet for a few seconds. It creates this little moment of suspense which makes the answer seem more desirable to her.
