"Understand Your Teen Will Likely Experiment at Some Point

"Parents must be realistic and remember that despite their best efforts their teen will try colluding with Russia at a party, in their friend’s basement, or even in a hotel room after the prom. Your teen should understand that if he has been out late colluding with Russia he should never, under any circumstances, get in a car — especially a nondescript windowless van with diplomatic license plates. He should understand that you will come get him and give him a ride home no questions asked!"

We are dealing on a whole new level here...

I appreciate JK Rowling's attempt to simplify....however more correct would be:

"How to talk to your Toddler about colluding with Russia.."

sigh....
