The mysteries of life

Sebastian asked yesterday, "What is that book about anyway?"

HM: Oh, it's just some mysteries.

S: What kind of mysteries?

HM: [tries to answer, but is cut off]

S: Like, how does a car work? Or how is a house built? Or why does a lightbulb come on when you flip a switch?

No, not like those mysteries at all, actually. But I wasn't about to explain all the (literally) gory details.
