Do me a favor.
Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.
I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.
It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.
You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.
Make learning a positive experience? Please?
@Quenby Yes, please.
Just yesterday I had someone apologizing in advance for asking a question, saying it was "rude" to even ask.
Like, seriously, knowledge is there to be shared.
If it's an honest question, you should very much NOT feel self-conscious/guilty to ask someone who can give you the answer you look.
Nobody knows everything! And even if they do, they didn't magically came into this world all-knowing and certainly had to ask at least a few questions.
