today no school
Whenever a child is being asked why he/she isn't in school that day, he/she will usually answer "today no school". I'll then jokingly ask whether the school collapsed overnight.
What would be the best way for the child to answer such a question?

Hi,
There are many possible answers. eg
No, it didn't.
Yes, I think it did.
I don't know.
I hope not.
It's the kind of question from an adult that children often interpret as not requiring any answer except, perhaps, a smile.
Best wishes, Clive
