I was teaching an advanced kids class and asked a question about a particular hand weapon. Half of the kids said it was a palm and the other half said it was a claw - a tie vote. I then said "Let's ask the parents." Both parents correctly answered the question and even held up a well-formed claw. I learned a long time ago that when you teach children's classes you do it as if you are teaching the parents, because much of the time you are. All too often instructors think the parents have no interest but they will surprise you.
So, a Gold Star to Kelly and Scott. Not only did they get the answer but they showed their kids that Mom and Dad really DO know some stuff.
