Why not just tell them the truth?

Ned, you've quoted me, but it's not about me. I was answering a question.
You could have answered the poster's question too! And perhaps you have, by
saying "tell them the truth."

I know (AND YOU KNOW) that I recommended that clearly.
Then I went on to make humorous and facetious suggestions in case the family
wasn't confident enough to say "Back Off" to the schools.

Some people are braver than others.
Some are more able to tell the plain truth than others.
