[From the trenches of Harry Potter]
While Ariella and I have had the how-do-babies-get-in-there-and-how-do-they-get-out discussion (Horrified - "But it's so small!" Yes. Yes it is), Ariella is less well-versed in matters of the heart. So as we head into Harry Potter 4, with balls and crushes and flirting, she's a little in the dark.
(Apologies to all my non-Potterphile readers; feel free to skip this one).
Ron, as you recall, is grumpy because Hermione is attending the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum.
Ariella: Oh, so Ron's jealous... [Exactly! Feeling impressed that she's picked up on that nuance] because Hermione gets to go with Krum! [Um ... sure].
Later, Snape is using his wand to blast pairs of students who are, um, in the rosebushes together, deducting House points when the couples scamper out. He sees Ron and Harry sitting on the bench and tells them to get a move on.
Ariella: Why didn't Harry and Ron get in trouble?
Me: Well, they weren't doing anything wrong.
Ariella: But what were the kids in the bushes doing wrong?
Me: Well...
Ariella: They were probably just playing hide and seek.
Okay, we're going to go with that.
Enjoying the innocence while it lasts.

Oh dear. Have fun with all that.
Chuckling.
At least you're the one talking to her. Liat picked up some of the info on the HALB bus (you can imagine how entertaining that was) and I had to undo some (but not all, some details were surprisingly on target) of that.
And Orli learned it all from Liat and Tali, making my job much easier...
Baila-
The HALB bus is today's equivalent of an afterschool special.
[hands over my ears] lalalalalala...I can't hear you....
