Lesson: Minimal questioning is better

Me: Leo, where are your glasses?
Leo: I took them off.
Me: The doctor wants you to wear those glasses so your eyes will get stronger.
Leo: But they're dirty.
(Here is where I should have stopped asking and just washed the glasses.)
Me: How did they get dirty?
Leo: I was tee-teeing out in the yard, and it splashed off of the fence and onto my glasses.
