Congratulations!

Whenever a child is smart enough to ask you a question about a subject they are probably ready to learn a little about it.

Update: Good point tilly!

    I like that rule, but be aware of how they handle it when you teach them a little bit about it. If every simple question on their part gets a lecture, the kid will learn to associate the subject with lectures and will avoid it. Let them set the pace.
