Re: The Stupidest Question

[Guest guest]

The stupidest thing that I have ever had said to me was I went out to dinner

with a bunch of girl friends for a girls night out. We went to a mexican

resturant. We were all dressed to the nine's. I was handed my menu and then it

was jerked out of my hands and the waiter asked the rest of my friends if I

knew how to read!

I was so PISSED!!!!!! They looked at him and said I dont know ask her.

So I said " Yes I can read and I want a margarita on the rocks with salt. " LOL

Actually, that's not as stupid as it sounds! As we get older, we tend to put

the weight on! I've gone through FIVE sizes of trousers!!!!! My belly

outgrowing each of them!

The Stupidest Question

I believe the stupidest question I have ever been asked was, " Do you ever

outgrow your clothes? " LOL

I think the stupidest question I was ever asked was when I was graduating

from high school. I had taken some sewing classes and really enjoyed it so

my parents decided to get me a sewing machine. When we went to look at

machines they were on tables that were to high so I had to sit on my mom's

lap to reach the dials etc. Perhaps that was my first mistake. I don't

mind doing this from time to time when there is no way to be accommodated

otherwise but obviously the proprietor was not listening to my mom when she

explained the situation (i.e. I was graduating from high school and we were

looking for a machine I could operate easily). As she was showing us the

machine she asked my mom if I knew my letters and numbers! We were both

absolutely stunned. We left that place so quickly. I have had stupid

questions asked of me before and I am usually able to laugh at the person

asking the question and let it roll off my back but this was so unbelievable

to both my mom and me. When we got in the car I burst into tears. This

happened 15 years ago but still when we pass that place I get such a knot in

my stomach. I can understand ignorant questions from children and those

that don't have an average

intelligence but when these kinds of questions come from intelligent people

who are functional parts of the community it just throws me for a loop.

Fortunately it doesn't happen all that often and I think Barty and LPA

have really helped with that.

Was I an animal, vegetable or mineral?

To which I replied all three! lol

And they said, Whatttttttt?

To which I said back, " Yes, I'm an evolved form of you from the

furture, just here now for test trial. "

Sorry Tyny, meant to mail that to the group. Long work day so pardon the being

brain dead on the reply mails

Anyway ...

The clothes questions just have to be the funniest ones sometimes ... and

the shoe questions along with it. I wear a size 1 to 2 kids shoe depending on

cut, and clothes either run juniors, kids, or the occasional petites. When I got

older though, I admit I hated going for new shoes or clothes, especially after I

kept getting, " Is this your first bra kiddo? " or " Sorry, we don't carry kids

sizes, try Buster Brown or Payless Kids. " Yeesh! Now when I go shopping I just

tell people that my problem is that I'm not too small at all, I'm just

fashionably challenged ... heck, I still wear the same clothes I wore 20 years

ago! Viva la 80s!

years.
