Great moment of reflection, C-Flat. I have to laugh at my oldest son, Gideon. I know that my sons went crazy when they'd ask me if they could do something, and I'd say, "We'll see." I learned from experience that if I said... "yeah, I'll take you to see Star Wars tomorrow night" and I was flat on my back in the emergency room when it was movie time, and it was obvious that I couldn't take them, they'd still say, "But Dad, You PROMISED!" wringing every ounce of guilt out of that word. So, I learned to say "we'll see." When Gideon would say, "That's not an answer at all! What does THAT mean?!," I'd answer, "It means what it means... we'll see." That used to drive him nuts.

Now, Gideon has a 7 year old daughter and a five year old son, and I have to laugh when we're with them, and they ask him if they can do something and he says "We'll see," and then blinks his eye at me, and says, "See, I learned how to do it, too.."
