Ok, so there's 2 sons and 2 fathers. They go fishing. Each person caught one fish, so there's 3 fish in total. What happened?

Answer at the bottom

It's really 3 people that are on the fishing trip. Let's say there's an old man named Dave. He has a son named Bob and Bob's son's name is Billy.

Dave is the father of Bob which makes one father and Bob is the father of Billy which makes two fathers.

Bob is the son of Dave, so there's one son and Billy is the son of Bob which makes 2 sons.

2 Fathers and 2 Sons! Get it?
