Sometimes not having an answer is totally okay. A simple "I'm not sure" and a discussion is fine. She'll eventually figure it out one day on her own but a quick "That's a good question" and an "I don't know" works fine. Parents don't always have an answer, and you don't need to pretend to either.

Fascinating that just encouraging someone to be open and honest with their child elicits these types of reactions. Did I touch on some taboo I don’t know about?
Do you feel like you lied to her with that answer? Isn’t it true? why so defensive then?
