Aah-dunno!
I do not know that.
Not a very long sentence. No big words.
Now, if it is such a simple set of words, why are so many people incapable to pronounce it?
Sometimes it looks as if admitting our ignorance on a subject is the greatest sin ever.
I don’t know everything.
Although I am always willing to learn more I will never know everything.
That doesn’t make me sad. It doesn’t even bother me.
I can say “Aah-dunno” like the blondes in the jokes, and still laugh at myself.
At least by confessing our ignorance we can learn, by hiding it we only manage to keep the ignorance and shun new knowledge.

If I am not mistaken that is the sentence most uttered by me in a single day. It takes way too much energy to fake something you don't know.
And it would also be hard to memorize everything one was 'supposed' to know.
I say, "Me ain' know." In our lingua. Or as we do here, curl our hands up, show empty palms up. Means, ah dunno.
I'm glad I don't know everything. Can you imagine how boring life would be then? If we knew everything?
GG - No, I can't. But that is not a risk, even if I try.
Penny - don't you like to tear everything apart just to see how it works? guess in that I am like a little kid...
