Perhaps you needed your wife to explain. I'm sure I've told this story
here before but since it was probably years ago I'll repeat it. When my
daughter was about 6 or 7 years old she came to my wife and asked: "Mom,
how does the water get out of the faucet." My wife said: "That's
something you should ask your father." My daughter said: "But I don't
want to know that much. I just want to know how the water gets out."
My wife is sure to remind me of that from time to time. :-)
