Q: There were two fathers and two sons went fishing. Each of them caught at least 2 fish. When they got home, there were only seven fish in the basket. How come?
A: They were actually 3 people: a son, a father, and a grand father. Two of them got two fish and one of them got three fish. Altogether seven fish. Nothing went wrong.

Why two fathers and two sons? The father is a father to the son, and the grand father is a father to the father. So, we have two fathers here. Now, the son is a son of the father, and the father is a son of the grandpa. So, we have two sons here.
