Have you ever crushed a child's dream(s)?

If she's happy, there's no reason to be afraid.

Isn't that the reason you had children?

afraid cuz they i will need to support her.

I don't think it was a "dream" you crushed, it was a perception (that the character truly was a woman)

Good opportunity to talk about theater.

Well, I didn't see that one coming.

Yeah we did talk about how great an actor he is to be able to fool you into believing the clown was an old lady like a grandmom.

You just had to see the look on her face when I just casually answered yeah she is man. Her mouth dropped open and this utter look of disbelief - like how the heck did he pull that off and maybe a little of what an dummy I am.

My teen just kind of shrugged as if so no big deal -- I thought it was an old lady, but so what does it matter.

Funny the two completely different reactions.
