Interesting response. I'm going to go the route of not assuming you're full of shit.
If that's the case, there's really no easy way to let someone down, regardless of their age. No matter what you said, the way they internalize it will be the same. The only thing we can do is be honest and let them do what they will with it. It'll make them a better person in the long run, because we all need a bit of rejection to keep ourselves humble.
