INT. CAR MORNING
A FATHER and his DAUGHTER drive down the street.
FATHER
(singing the Beatles’ ‘Yellow Submarine’)
…sky of blue, and sea of green, in our yellow submarine!
DAUGHTER
(interrupting)
Why?
FATHER
…in our yello- what? Why what?
DAUGHTER
Why is the sky blue?
FATHER
Why is the sky blue?
DAUGHTER
Yes.
FATHER
Congratulations, you have struck upon the quintessential toddler “why” question. Good work. The sky is blue because of the refraction of light. I’m sure we’ll discuss this in depth later.
DAUGHTER
I have to pee pee.
FATHER
(singing)
We all live in a yellow submarine (etc.)
END.
