How would you explain your job role to a 5 year old?

I have to say, this is something that I haven't done successfully. My daughter (now 9) knows I work with computers and people (I am an Engineering Manager at a software company) and while homeschooling, she had witnessed the number of meetings I attend daily.

I think we can all agree, research is a complicated business. It can be hard enough to describe what you do to your peers, let alone non-scientists. With that in mind.
