Be sure to give brief, simple answers. Express your own emotions -- explain that grownups need to cry sometimes, too. And most of all, avoid euphemisms. Keep it as simple as possible. Like this, "Elmo is very, very old and his battery didn't work anymore so the nice family threw him away." Be reassuring, explain that you would never do that to them if they were to get the flu.

I hope after all those giggles and shakes the Elmo Chair for cab fare…..
