A little too honest?

Emma missed two days of school this week because she wasn't feeling well.  On Wednesday, her teacher sent home the classwork that she had missed for her to finish at home.  So, for the last two nights, I've been sitting at the dining room table trying to keep her focused long enough to finish it all.

Tonight, I was going over her answers on her reading worksheet.  There was a question, "Why does the author say that a tree is like an animal hotel?"  Her response: "I have no idea.  Sorry."  I couldn't contain my laughter.  While I appreciated her honesty, I did make her review the book and figure out a better answer than that. 

I wonder if I can try that answer the next time my boss asks a question.
