smarts

heather always had lots of questions and, unfortunately, i don't always have the answer. we had gone off on a tangent about chemical properties of something and i was getting anxious to move on. i answered her last question with "i'm not sure about the answer, but when you get home you can look it up or ask your parents." heather visibly deflated and said, "but i can't do that! my parents aren't as smart as you!"
