How to fool a child? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kid

This clue is a double definition.

'how to fool' is the first definition.
(I know that kid is a kind of befool)

'a child?' is the second definition.
(I know that child can be written as kid)

(Other definitions for kid that I've seen before include "Joke" , "Deceive - child" , "Josh" , "To fool; young animal" , "In slang, young child or goat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
