Am I remembering wrong?  I thought it was when you are *ready*, you 
will know.  I don't think it's an age thing, like he was too young to 
understand it, but that he was (emotionally?  mentally?) not at a 
place where he could really understand or deal with it.  Maybe there's 
other stuff he has to learn before it can be clear to him?

But then again, my brain may just be rearranging  the words on me and 
it might be 'old enough' - anyone have the book handy?
