Always my pleasure! and not intended as comfort, but matter of fact appreciation. 'Show and tell" refers to the event in school where kids brought in items of interest to display to the class, to their interest and excitement and all shared comments and questions. A great learning primer, which of course is similar to our much more seasoned efforts here

Your note made me realize that sometimes the idioms I often use here might not be known to the international readers here, thus the elementary explanation. mea culpa.
