Be honest. You don’t need to speculate to try to come up with an answer. If you don’t know, that’s ok. As job suggests, they can ask their father directly.

If your children are like mine, they do sometimes get into speculation, what ifs, and possible scenarios. It is good to explore these, with the understanding on everyone’s part that it is not fact.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
