A father and son go fishing one summer day. While they are out in their boat, the boy suddenly becomes curious about the world around him. He asks his father, 'Dad, how does this boat float?'
The father replies, 'Don't rightly know son.'
?
A little later, the boy looks at his father and asks, 'Dad, how do fish breath underwater?'
Once again the father replies, 'Don't rightly know son.'
A little later, the boy asks his father, 'Dad, why is the sky blue?'
Again, the father replies, 'Don't rightly know son.'
Finally, the boy says to his father, 'Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?'
The father replies, 'Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions, you never learn nothin'.
The father replies, 'Don't rightly know son.'
