What to say when you don't know?

It is okay if you do not know something, not everyone in the world will know how the world works. What you do not want to do is pretend that you know something as it can lead to an endless loop of lies. Be honest and tell someone when you do not know something as it can stop a lie before it starts. You can also tell the person asking you information if they can help you learn more about the topic so you can feel helpful in the future.
