So last Monday my sixth grader comes home and says that his buddy, who's Dad works for NASA and I know this for fact, his buddy says something special is happening "about Mars". Further, his buddy says that he can't tell my son what's happening until Sunday because my son doesn't have a security clearance. In my best father-knows-best demeanor, I smiled and took my son aside to explain how some kids like to make things up to make themselves feel important. I now have to go in there and tell my son that his buddy was right and his Dad was well ...you know, wrong, again.

Nah, you just tell him that "for security reasons" you couldn't let on that you knew, then wink at him.
