When our children were small they would ask questions about everything. Someone said that an average 3 year old will ask about 300 questions each day. This is how they learn. They would see you doing something and ask you why. One question they didn't ask as often is "Would you show me how to do ...?" They would rather say, "I'll do it myself."
The disciples had seen Jesus in prayer and they wanted to pray like that. They had been taught how to pray from childhood but their prayers were not authentic prayers like their Lord's. The question they may have asked could have been, "Lord, would you teach us to pray real authentic prayers like you and John the Baptist pray?"
That is what we need. We need to learn to pray real authentic prayers.
