Too simple or just simple enough ?

It's certainly vague enough to cover just about anything you want to throw at it, but at the same time provide answers.

Q: Why is the sky blue ?
A: It's actually not blue, it's your relationship to it that makes it appear blue.

Q: Why does the clock on a space ship travelling near the speed of light run slowly.
A: It's your relationship to the space ship that makes it appear to run more slowly. Somebody else may see it running at a different rate, because they have their own relationship to the space ship.

See, one size fits all.
