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?

I love the XKCD way of handling this.

The first Diet Coke and Mentos video I ever saw was someone trying it in the bathtub. The fountain of Coke foam hit the ceiling!
