Me, pointing at funnel-shaped hole in bathroom wall: Do you know anything about this?

Daughter: *nods*

Me: Did it occur to you that this might not be a good idea?

Daughter, looking puzzled: No.

It was actually a couple of years ago. . . but it's classic.
I still need to get the hole in the wall fixed properly.

She has a fairly good sense of right and wrong in regard to interacting with people, but when she is inspired to "experiment" she 'gets fuzzy on the whole good bad thing.'
