Yes! Some of my favorite memories with my pops involved him saying "I don't know, let's figure it out". E.g.: Me: "dad can we make lava?" Dad: "I don't know, it has to be really hot" Me: "We have a torch, thats really hot, will that work?" Dad: "I don't know, go find a rock I'll get the torch" 20 minutes of heating a rock later Me: "I don't think this is gonna work, its not even glowing yet" Dad: "yeah you're probably right. wanna see something cool tho?" Me: "Yeah" * Dad puts the rock in the "safety bucket" of water we had there in case somethigng caught on fire. It steams and hisses and the water gets hot * Me: "COOL!" Other good memories include failed attempts to fix broken toys, the time we went on a quest but failed to locate the source of a stream, the rainy day we went fishing in a drainage ditch (where there would never be fish), and so on.
