Strategic Message Management 101...

...As practiced by a seven-year-old.

Dolan and three friends are chatting at recess. One of the friends starts talking about "sex." One of the other friends tells a teacher. All four seven-year-olds are called to the Principal's office. The sex-talker claims it wasn't just him, that Dolan was talking sex too. The other two kids rebut him. The Principal asks Dolan what he may have said. Dolan's response, verbatim: "I said nothing inappropriate." Seven years old. Brilliant. (And, the cleverness of his quip aside, for what it's worth, I believe him).
