Pops used to say (frequently) to people: "I'd have a battle of wits, but you are unarmed."
Me? I'll go ahead and have that battle of wits and show somebody they are unarmed.
Disclaimer: To be fair, I'd seen this phrase on Facebook, thanks to a dear friend, Theresa. But then, I got a chance to use it.
Speaking with a person, I had just finished a brief description of very simple concept (my son understood it - he is only 7 now, and was younger at the time).
Their response? "Usagi, I have no idea what you just said."
Me: "I'd explain it to you, but I just ran out of crayons and puppets."
