Perhaps if we want to set up a grandiose-type event and want their input, we could get a (...)

Good advice. One of the kids, when asked about why he persisted in touching stuff when I had asked him not to replied: "Well, my dad is very important around here so it's OK" Presumably he was some professor of education... you connect the dots. :-) (...)
