No, as a matter of fact, you do not know what you're doing.

You have enough work to do elsewhere. Do it. I'm not going anywhere.

I don't get the difference with either. But doesn't babe also mean girl? I'm not a girl, either.

[a_survivor]

I didn't mean girl. Or baby as in infant.

And innocence is a quality of... belief in certain things - in life, if you will - that many people lose. And that loss can come at a different age. While naiveté - well. That mingles very neatly with gullibility.

What did you mean, then?

I thought innocence was just... not involvement. Kind of ignorance?

The saying refers to advice - which is wise - coming from the mouth of those who shouldn't have the experience to give it. Regardless of age. Babe as in innocent - yet not necessarily to be ignored.

Innocence can be many things. Absence of guilt, usually, and guilt is the price paid for some experiences.
