In this charming and thought-provoking photograph from the 1910s, an inquisitive young boy poses a puzzler to his father, sparking a playful and humorous exchange between them. The boy, with a curious and questioning look on his face, asks, "Are we made of dust, Pa?" His father, with a knowing smile, responds, "Certainly." The boy, not satisfied with the answer, continues with another question, "Well, why don't we turn to mud when we drink then?" The father, amused by his son's elementary yet intriguing line of questioning, takes a moment to consider the boy's question before responding with a lighthearted explanation.
