Oh god, I'm reaching that stage of parenting where my pre-teen is starting to ask questions. You know, _those_ questions. I was very uncomfortable and need to go do some reading about how to explain these things.

That's right. Tonight she asked me to explain sin and cosine.

(Jokingly but egads I've never, ever thought about how to explain these things to a pre-geometry student and I did not make it go smoothly)
