it can be a tough line to walk. i often find myself blithely jabbering away about this or that, only to discover that i wandered into my audience's "blah blah ginger blah" stage six sentences earlier. and that's embarrassing :/ like i was trying to show off or belittle my conversational partner or whatever, when i wasn't.
nine is actually about the age i started formulating the "i don't know *this*, but i am perfectly *capable* of the knowledge...." notion. i still tend to kind of go with that on both the speaking and receiving ends (with nine-year-olds and up, though i confess i do it with littler kids once in awhile too).
