   Related: most kids can be surprisingly entertained by your making them just a little bit terrified.

     Notation: if a very young child tells you they are scared of skeletons, do not tell them that there is a skeleton inside them. This is neither helpful nor educational in this scenario.

     Notation Secundus: doubling down with "there's a skeleton inside everyone, even your mommy & daddy & your puppy" is also not useful.
