I’d probably describe it as something that seemingly doesn’t make sense but could be possible regardless.

Offer them the statement “I always lie.”

Point out that if the statement is true, it must be false.

Stand back and see what happens.

Eight year olds are definitely smart enough to understand this.

It’s something that makes itself wrong and right at the same time.

e.g on one side of a peice of paper write :The message on the other side is true. On the other side write: The message on the other side is not true.

I don’t think that you do. Wait until the wiring is in place.
