understanding (n.)

"The problem with your question," the under 10 years old, somewhat irate client tells me, "is that I don't want to answer it."

"You look angry right now.  Maybe a little frustrated?"

"I am very angry right now."

"You don't want to answer the question?"

"No."

"You don't want to be here."

"No."

Pause.

"Do you think the vampire puppet would like to tell me instead?"

"Yes!  I have been WAITING for you to figure that out!!"
