Actually mentioning that publicly is against the policy. I can tell you via email if you promise not to post it publicly. (Address in profile)

That's nice of you, and nice of the parent for not taking you up on it, but it could have been someone from the company asking you that.

That's a valid point; didn't even consider the possibility of a trap. Thanks for the warning for the future!

Is it "mentioning it publicly" if it's a private conversation? Or is it meant to be "don't tell anyone"?

Private conversations are fine, they just typically don't like you posting about it.

Nah, if you can get in trouble I don't want to know.
