How to ask wonderful questions and how to answer the difficult ones.

Four-year old boy standing on sidewalk outside car dealership.

Daddy?
he asked.
If I make a play about Star Wars, I think you should play Jabba the Hutt. Do you think that's a good idea?

Umm...
I said.
If you feel I would be a good fit for the part...

Yep.
he said emphatically.
And who would you rather have be your dad: Yoda or Mr. Miyagi?

Well,
I said.
That is an incredible one-two punch of questions you just asked. Let me process those and get back to you.

Okay.
he said.
If I had to choose, I would choose both.
