Many if not most people feel their income is private information and don't even tell their children. I would change the topic to the gini of students, not their parents, and calculate the gini based on allowances and part time jobs.

Be up front and honest with them explain exactly what and why your doing what your doing then ask them then they will understand why you have asked them the question
