I don’t recall the ‘exact’ details of the conversation but it went something like this.
Tinkerbell doesn’t have a Mom and Dad…:
…because they weren’t there when she was with The Lost Boys, Peter Pan, and the other ones.
She doesn’t have a Mom and Dad? How can that be?
I dunno, they are probably dead or something.
But, everybody has a Mom and Dad right?
No.
Do you mean that she doesn’t have a Mom and Dad just because they might be dead?
Yes, well no.
How did she or any other fairy get here then? Did they just come out of a dewdrop or something?
[pause]
Oh!!! You mean in real life or…?
Well, yeah, in real life. [clearing my throat in a stifling way] Were you just talking about the movie?
Yes, but I don’t know, I just think that they weren’t there when she was with The Lost Boys, Peter Pan, and the other ones.
Okay.

If this were anything like a debate, I would say that “you lost”, Lief.
Or I should say, “We adults lost!”

It is wonderful how you leave the ultimate decision up to her, and only prompt her into thinking through the whole situation.

Yeah! Bopop said what REALLY needed to be said: ” …you leave the ultimate decision up to her, … you prompt her into thinking through the whole situation.”
I would amend that somewhat, though: You must be prepared, in some future circumstances, to give her reasons why her “ultimate decision” should be reconsidered.

What I was trying to say (and did it poorly!) was that you are doing GREAT parenting!! I’m proud of you.
