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?

This 100%

I'm pretty senior at work and I always tell people, day one, there are no stupid questions. If you're not sure then ask. This is drilled into my team's from top to bottom.

It's easy to forget people, especially new people, don't know everything. It's better to ask a question on day one than bluff it for six months until you understand.

Everyone doesn't know something until they know it. That's how learning works.
